James B. Jones is a Michigan-born, Philadelphia Austin Orange County Austin (again?) Los Angeles Montreal Los Angeles (again)-based writer and game designer whose credits include Star Wars: The Old Republic, Blade & Soul, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, and LEGO Star Wars: Castaways, among others. James continues to work in games today as a Senior Narrative Designer with Gameloft, though he has also started to branch out into over avenues.
When he’s not up to his eyeballs in words, James likes to spend his free time reading, people watch while exploring the streets of Hollywood, and going from spending his summers as a long-suffering Detroit Tigers fan to spending his winters as a long-suffering Detroit Lions fan.
Oh, and on occasion he still does the thing.

Writer
``I knew what I wanted to be from a young age, and while 'Second Baseman for the Detroit Tigers' didn't pan out, I did find another passion that has since shaped my life: writing.``
Game Designer
``From visual artistry and music, to writing, acting, the nuance of interactivity, and the mechanics of play, video games are beautiful; the culmination of all artistic expression.``
Storyteller
``I long to tell stories. This is what I love to do, and I am forever thankful that I have made a career from it. Plus it gives the voices in my head a place to play - which is nice.``
