James Peters

James Peters fell in love with Science Fiction at a young age, becoming hooked on the works of Asimov, Anderson, and Pohl (among many others), as well as the mixed bag of anything labeled Science Fiction on television or at the movies while growing up. While in grade school, he was given an assignment to write a journal about anything he wanted. He quickly filled the pages with a Buck Roger's type adventure of robots, spaceships, and pew-pewing lasers, discovering his inner passion to write.
He writes with a gritty blend of character-driven action, wry humor, and social commentary that transports the reader through wild worlds of speculative fiction and fantasy. He's known to cross the borders of different genres into new territory, along with an occasional 'wink and nod' to pop culture and other authors, then shock the reader with an unexpected turn of events.
Sit back, open your mind and enjoy the ride. Your adventure awaits.

They needed a Project Manager and through a stroke of luck had heard about him — underpaid and underappreciated in a rural manufacturing environment. Steve is seduced by the city, the job, and the young and vibrant people he works with. Over time, the job becomes all consuming, and corporate reshuffling leaves him working for a nightmare of a boss. A boss who drives him over the edge. But Steve Coleman gets a second chance. Seriously injured and without a job, he finds purpose in the two groups that accept him as he is now. The first, a mental health therapy group, and the second, a roleplaying gaming group. Both become key to his recovery. TRIGGER WARNING: This novel contains disturbing events, images, and situations, including suicidal thoughts and actions amongst its characters.
