About James
Well-educated in a variety of subjects, I love to learn and I love to teach. After over a dozen years of writing, designing games, making movies and music I am ready to share that knowledge with the world and let others experience the joy I have discovered in these and other fields.
I have owned and run 2 of my own companies and know what it means to break things down into component parts so that they are easily digestible to those who wish to learn.
I am a voracious reader (and hope to make you one as well) in a variety of fictional and non-fictional subjects. I have 7 years as a professional proofreader and have written and published 28 (soon to be 29) books and/or games.
History is my secret passion, whether I find it in a book, a movie or a museum (or better yet, the actual site!) I can never get enough. I have travelled extensively in the USA and in Europe, Canada and Mexico as well, soaking in the history and culture of anywhere I visit.
Previous experience includes the teaching of writing, design and publishing in both public and private venues. I have done seminars at a variety of conventions over the last 12 years including Owlcon, Spacecity Con, Comicpalooza, Apollocon, Game Theory Expo and others.
I believe learning should be inclusive of more than just names and dates (especially in History) or even raw data. Knowledge should be absorbed and imparted from a variety of sources such as books, movies, games, comics, concerts, documentaries and personal experiences such as visiting sites and conversations with other industry professionals. I like to include these methodologies in my curriculum wherever possible. Putting meaning behind the facts is of utmost importance and contributes greatly to one's overall understanding of the subject.
Teens and Adults preferred.
