James Ross was a physician, winemaker, artist, chef, and novelist. Most importantly, though, he was a great father to his three children. He spent most of his life in his cherished Kentucky, where he passed away in 2015. Daze of Infamy began as a dream in 2003 in Savannah. He first visited Savannah in 1978 and lived there for many years. He honors his family heritage of teaching through his character Constantine Pappas. Mr. Pappas also honors Jim's mentor, lovingly known to all as Mr. Deane. Dr. Ross gave his father credit for the spirituality that nurtured him.
