James was born in Canterbury, Kent, in the mid 1970's. By the age of four, he and his mother and sisters moved to Lincoln where he would live until 2017. He was an avid fan of the Fighting Fantasy book series by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. Excelling in infant school winning a 3 gold star accolade for an adaptation of The Wizard Of Oz, James would leave high school with few good results due to troubles at home. His interest in interactive literature remained, and he has now met his aforementioned heroes several times. He is good friends with Mark Lain and several other modern gamebook authors, and decided to write a few himself. In 2020, when Coronavirus had everyone in lock down, he seized his chance, and inside a year three Literally Immersive Gamebooks were published. The Druids Of Pneuma was written years earlier when he was just 19, but not happy with the result he was later inspired to rewrite the background, with new characters inspired whilst walking his dog along the beach where he currently lives in Scotland. He has also written a gamebook and two short stories for US based Savage Realms press. Amongst writing, he enjoys raising money for charity, working out, fishing and spending time with his daughters. He is an avid campaigner in spreading awareness of parental alienation having suffered the same during narcissistic abuse, and was an executive producer for The Stranger I Love, a film by Theresa Godly which highlights this social issue. For each book he sells he buys three tree saplings using plant4theplanet, with the remaining royalties going to Parental Alienation Awareness UK. He currently works as a care assistant as an occupation. Read more about this authorRead less about this author
