James K. Dill

 

Malone Ridge is Jim's new novel in 2022, following the successful debut of Racing Shadows in 2019.  Racing Shadows was a book that took many miles and many years to complete with much introspection from the athlete and author. Malone Ridge was much easier in other ways, pure fiction.

​

A competitive runner since high school, Jim ran track and cross country for East Carolina University in the ’70s while earning his degree. After college, Jim moved up to the marathon while earning an MA and MBA from Wake Forest University. Jim competed in the 1984 Olympic Marathon Trials. After graduate school, Jim had a successful career in banking and currently works in nonprofit management. Taking up writing after his competitive running days were over, Jim resides in Richmond, Virginia with his wife and family.
