SUNDAY REVIEW / ALWAYS BUSY SAN DIEGO JOURNALIST PENS NEW FICTION


 Ron James: A San Diegan Debuts Quantum Deception

By Thomas Shess, Editor/Founder PillartoPost daily blog--San Diego writer Ron James has spent a lifetime telling stories in many forms—through newspapers, magazines, photography, food and travel essays, and digital news platforms. Now, the veteran journalist and media entrepreneur has stepped into new territory with the release of his debut novel, Quantum Deception, a fast-paced cyber-thriller that blends high-tech intrigue with human drama.

The book marks a bold new chapter in James’s long career. Known locally for his sharp eye on culture, food, and community life, he brings the same sharp sense of detail and timing to his fiction. Quantum Deception reflects both his curiosity about how technology shapes society and his gift for turning complex subjects into compelling narratives.

Before entering the world of fiction, James built an impressive résumé in San Diego media. He worked with San Diego Magazine and The San Diego Union-Tribune, eventually managing the newspaper’s digital arm, SignOnSanDiego.com, for nearly a decade. He later served as President and CEO of the San Diego News Network, a pioneering digital news venture that showcased his forward-looking vision for online journalism.

Beyond hard news, James carved out a vibrant niche in lifestyle writing. He is the co-founder and editor of Wine Dine & Travel Magazine, a publication that has taken him across the globe to chronicle food, wine, and travel experiences. His stories and photography from the magazine have earned recognition from the San Diego Press Club and the Society of Professional Journalists, cementing his reputation as a versatile voice equally at home describing a fine meal in Barcelona as covering the shifting landscape of digital media.

A U.S. Navy veteran with deep roots in San Diego, James has long balanced his professional drive with community connection. Whether reporting on local issues, launching media ventures, or exploring the pleasures of food and travel, he has always returned to the written word. With Quantum Deception, he channels decades of storytelling into a new form, one that introduces him not just as a journalist, but as a novelist to watch.
