James Ponti è un noto autore di romanzi per giovani adulti, che vanta origini italiane e americane. È nato a Pisa, in Italia, per poi trasferirsi ad Atlantic Beach, in Florida, dove è cresciuto. Ponti ha studiato all'Università della California del Sud. Oltre alla sua carriera di scrittore, ha anche ottenuto successo in televisione come autore e produttore.
Ponti ha acquisito notevole riconoscimento per il suo lavoro sulla trilogia di Dead City, una serie di romanzi per giovani adulti che hanno incantato i lettori. La sua scrittura è avvincente e immaginativa, e le sue storie sono piene di suspense e mistero. La trilogia segue una società segreta che vigila sui non-morti che vivono sotto New York, offrendo un'originale variazione sul tradizionale romanzo per giovani adulti.
Oltre alla trilogia di Dead City, Ponti è anche l'autore della serie FRAMED!, vincitrice del Edgar Award, che presenta una coppia di tweens sherlockiani che risolvono misteri a Washington, D.C. L'ultima serie di Ponti è CITY SPIES, che segue un improbabile squadra di cinque bambini di diverse parti del mondo che formano una squadra di élite di spie MI6. La scrittura di Ponti non solo è divertente, ma anche stimolante, e i suoi personaggi sono ben sviluppati e simpatici.
Ponti è un grande fan dei Boston Red Sox, dei USC Trojans e della nazionale di calcio italiana. Gli piace viaggiare, scrivere e trascorrere del tempo con la sua meravigliosa famiglia. Cresciuto ad Atlantic Beach, in Florida, Ponti vive ora a Orlando. Il suo lavoro è stato ampiamente riconosciuto, guadagnandogli una nomination agli Emmy per il suo lavoro in televisione e lo status di bestseller del New York Times per i suoi libri.
