James B. Jones is a Michigan-born, Philadelphia Austin Orange County Austin (again?) Los Angeles Montreal-based writer and game designer whose credits include Star Wars: The Old Republic, Blade & Soul, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, and Rio: Match 3 Party, among others. James continues to work in games today, though he has also begun to branch out into other avenues. When not up to his eyeballs in words, James likes to spend his free time reading, wandering the streets of Montreal (not during a pandemic I don’t), and screaming at the television every Sunday because when you choose to be a Detroit Lions fan, life is pain.

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.``
