James L. Wilber

James L. Wilber describes himself as Anne Rice and Chuck Palahniuk’s bastard love child. He’s a pretentious prick who claims to pen, “literary genre fiction.” Which means he writes smarmy shit about wizards and vampires doing a poor job at hiding his symbolism and metaphor. He’s turned to self-publishing on the correct assumption his stories are just too fucking weird for mass consumption.

He has contributed to numerous books for roleplaying games from companies such as: Wizards of the Coast, Paizo Publishing, White Wolf Studios, Bastion Press, and Atlas Games. He was also a writer on the Origins Award nominated, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Roleplaying Game by Eden Studios.

Mr. Wilber also assumes the roles of husband, ceremonial magician, podcast host, and owner of a 100-lb Alaskan Malamute.

He lives in Indianapolis, a dreary place built by masons obsessed with circles.

Along with Stephan Loy and Dick Thomas, James is a member of Mid-World Arts, a collective of indie writers dedicated to helping each other produce quality works. Find out more at midworldarts.com.

You can hear him on the podcasts Scroll of Thoth, and Geeks Out After Dark.

  Stephan Loy spins a good yarn in Last Days and Times. I’m normally not into end of the world stuff, but this was recommended by a friend. He creates protagonists that are real people. You can tell he speaks from the heart when he writes them, and it makes you care about them too. Even though this is firmly in the realm of sci-fi/fantasy, the writer comes at it from a place he is intimately familiar with, and thus creates something special. The villain has depth, and is steeped in Christian Mythology (yeah, I know, He hates it when we call it mythology). Since I studied early Christian history at school I found this extremely interesting, and I was impressed by his research. I highly recommend Last Days and Times, and hope to see more from this author soon.
