The sun was high, the ground was stubborn, and four hours into digging at Warfield’s Quarry, we were covered in dust and anticipation. Then it happened—the unmistakable outline of a fish fossil emerging from the stone. By the end of the day, we had uncovered four complete fossils and several partial ones. My grandson’s excitement was infectious; each discovery felt like we were unearthing a hidden chapter of history. He proudly kept every single one, treasures from a day neither of us will forget.
Adventure has always been a constant thread in my life.
My name is James Henry Bragg. I was born in Coventry, Warwickshire, England—but the world has long been my classroom and my inspiration. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats: photographer, fiction writer, online English teacher, and relentless traveller. I’ve lived and worked in South Africa, France, and Greece—each country shaping my perspective and deepening my curiosity.
Today, I call Vung Tau, Vietnam home—a vibrant coastal city where the sea breeze fuels my writing and the open road continues to call. Whether I’m crafting novels, teaching students across the globe, or setting off on my next journey, the spirit of exploration remains at the heart of everything I do.
I would not have it any other way.
