James Taylor is a writer, podcaster, and retired video game player. He's written five Trouble novels and is hard at work on something new that won't star your favorite Girl Detective. When he's not writing or wasting time on the internet, he enjoys reading speculative fiction and cheesy YA novels, perfecting the perfect Top Ramen meal, hiking with his girlfriend, and playing with his cat Trudy Campbell. James holds many strong opinions about adapting beloved genre fiction to the screen, and dreams of one day writing a Star War. He lives in the Golden State.
