Meet Tierney James, author of Black Mamba!

October 29, 2018



Hi folks! Today I’m featuring a super sweet and talented author, Tierney James. Upon visiting her website, I was immediately greeted with the catchy slogan “Lipstick & Danger” which is a cheeky hint at her sense of humour. It’s evident that she has a passion for living life to the fullest and encourages her readers to do the same.

She is supremely multi-talented, not only is she an author, she also worked at NASA as a Solar System Ambassador and a Geo-teacher for National Geographic! Tierney loves to travel and has gone on adventures throughout Africa, Asia and Europe, and some of those locations have ended up in her stories.


Her newest release, Black Mamba, includes a continuation of the character who is part villain and part hero from the Enigma series.

Tierney, what made you decide to continue with this particular character in the series?  

Life has problems so to avoid them in my work would just be boring. When we don’t have to go through the danger ourselves, living through someone else makes the story exciting. We have all met someone one we wanted to trust but something inside us screamed to be careful.

Where does Black Mamba take place?

The story takes place in Botswana, African. Since I’ve been there I felt I could bring some real life experience to the tale.

What did you discover in your research for this novel?

More than I wanted to know about the snake black mambas! Those babies are super scary.

Where will your next book take place?

Russia!

What inspires you to write?

A story. A song. A picture. A news article.

Who are some of your favourite authors?

James Rollins, Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown, Daniel Silva to mention a few.

Where would you like to go next on your travels?

Israel. Vatican City. Istanbul. Tibet. Jordon (Petra). Iceland. Greenland. Isle of Skye. Russia.

Growing up with a progressive Sensorineural loss without the use of assistive devices such as hearing aids must have been a particularly difficult experience for you. How on earth did you manage to get through school?


My hearing loss was mild when I was a child, steadily progressing—perhaps ‘regressing’ would be a better word—to its cu...
