James Shade has had a long and satisfying career, turning an Aerospace Engineering degree from Penn State into a legacy of software engineering excellence on such products as the propulsion system for the F-22 and F-35 fighter aircraft. Since then, he's been a project manager, a program manager, and a systems engineer.
But he's always been a writer. Since discovery of the worlds of roleplaying games in his early teens and the variety of fantasy and science fiction that exploded in the early 80's, James has had a passion for putting pen to paper and telling stories.
