James R. Fleming (Born 26 February 1944, London), is an English author who is the son of travel writer Peter Fleming, nephew to spy author Ian Fleming.[1]

He lived for the last twenty years in the remote North of Scotland in order to concentrate on his writing.[citation needed] This is where his Charlie Doig Russian series gestated. Well respected in the nearest town to his estate he became an honorary "Wicker" and fully immersed himself in community life.[citation needed]

He has written two historical novels, the first in 2000 being The Temple of Optimism,[1] and then in 2003 Thomas Gage.[2] In 2006 Fleming wrote the first of three thrillers, Cold Blood,[3] White Blood and Rising Blood,[4] that feature the Scottish/Russian character "Charlie Doig".
