James S. Bowers

James Bowers became interested in storytelling through video games like Halo and Mass Effect. He loved the rich universes and characters they offered and he had a soft spot for the genre, writing his own content since age nine. At sixteen he began to work on his debut novel. It would take five years to finish it, working on it off and on. In late 2013 he took a break from it and released his first book in between all that chaos. It was an anthology of short stories entitled Mechanical Heart. In mid 2014 James completed his debut novel, Pariahs and Peacemakers, and sent it to a professional editor and proof reader. Realising the time frame of five years was unacceptable for a novel, he endeavoured to write a thousand words a day and has already written a second novel in just four months. The story is in the survival horror genre but it is also hugely grounded in science fiction.

Seeing the gap in the market, James founded Glass Sword in mid 2014 to connect to like minded people that shared love for story and plot. He hopes to create a self sustaining community site as vibrant as the worlds he helps build. An ambitious project for sure but one he is utterly passionate about. As a huge fan of Rooster Teeth, he has seen how a hobby can become a career. He too wishes to achieve this dream. Visit him at glassswordteam.com
