Lessons learned after two years of being a published author.

The author as a product.

Coming to embrace being gay as part of the process.

Thoughts on video game difficulty and accessibility.

Revisiting my most memorable trip as an adult.

When pushing "publish" isn't the end.

Memories abroad, of a time long passed.

Who takes the fall when controversy strikes?

Fantasy worldbuilding when cartography isn't your thing.

Inspiration from many elsewhere.

Pushing “publish” and letting go.

Strengths, weaknesses, and navigation.

Figuring out the who behind the writing.

Peripheral characters and enhancing stories with them.

Let's talk a bit about a more broad topic.

Jumping into game development.

Or, how I rewrote an old project in a little over a month.

Or, how my first novels took 13 years to see daylight.

An introduction to me, my works, and my Substack.

This is James's Substack.
