Welcome to my worlds!

I'm James Maxey, author of fantasy and science fiction. My novels include the science fantasy Bitterwood Saga (4 books) the Dragon Apocalypse Saga (4 books), numerous superhero novels including Nobody Gets the Girl and the Lawless series, the steampunk Oz sequel Bad Wizard, and my short story collections, There is No Wheel and Jagged Gate. This website is focused exclusively on writing. At my second blog, Jawbone of an Ass, I ramble through any random topic that springs to mind, occasionally touching on religion and politics and other subjects polite people are sensible enough not to discuss in public.

Well, this is a first....

Kim Raginski sent me an email saying that Bitterwood and Dragonforge had inspired her to try to recreate my dragons in the game Spore.

She sent me links to the following images

This is definitely a first for me!

Another first I'm going to announce now is that I'll be doing a shared signing at the Barnes and Noble in Greensboro at 7pm on December 5th to promote the IGMS anthology. I'll be there with fellow author Scott Roberts and editor Edmund Schubert and some guy named Orson Scott Card. Mark this one on your calendars. It should be good.

That dragon is awesome!
Great job, Kim!
If only, it were possible to make the wings even bigger.

Thanks matt, and Thanks even more to James!
I tried to make them bigger!!

What is even cooler is seeing them in the game as they move around! :)

I haven't done much in the way of video games since Diablo 2, but I may have to check out Spore. It sounds like a pretty much perfect game for me. Which is one reason I should probably stay away from it, actually.

That makes me wish I was in NC.

OSC has been my favorite author since I read Ender's Game in 7th grade oh so many years ago, and after picking up Bitterwood and Dragonforge on his recommendation (on his website), you've come on to the list at a pretty high level too.

Thanks, LBC! If you're a fan of OSC, the anthology is a good deal, since it contains four stories by him and one graphic story adapted from one of his stories.
