James M. Moten, a retired U.S. military veteran and author, has launched his official website at www.booksbyjamesmoten.com to spotlight two deeply personal works: his memoir I IRS (My Hell of Life) and his poetry collection I The Black Poet Comes. The site provides direct access to his books, author background, media features, and book trailers, offering readers a centralized resource to explore narratives rooted in truth and faith.
Moten's writing draws from a life shaped by racism, military service, public service, family strength, and spiritual conviction. His memoir traces his early years in the segregated South, his time in the U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps, and his career as an IRS agent. Written with honesty, the book reflects on prejudice, hardship, and the determination required to persevere. His poetry collection complements this narrative, using verse to explore themes of identity, pain, love, and survival, blending street-level realism with spiritual depth.
Born in 1947 in Crockett, Texas, Moten was the tenth of fourteen children. At age five, his mother moved the family to Tucson, Arizona, seeking a safer environment away from racial tensions. Moten later earned a degree in finance, worked for the IRS, and founded his own tax corporation. Throughout his life, he encountered racism in both public and professional settings, experiences that inform his writing. His work also honors his mother, Arlishie Harris Moten, whose strength remains central to his story.
The memoir I IRS (My Hell of Life) is available on Amazon, with a book trailer on YouTube. Similarly, I The Black Poet Comes is available on Amazon with its own trailer. Moten's website serves as a hub for readers seeking authentic accounts of resilience and faith, making his works accessible to a broader audience.
