James T. Callum is an author whose adventurous spirit transcends the world of fiction. Hailing from the swampy landscapes of Florida, he made a journey that spanned across the United States, with each new book release marking a new chapter in his life. It took just over two years and five books for James to find his home in the misty mountains of Washington, a place where the beauty of nature mirrors the complexity and depth of his writing.
A lifelong lover of fantasy and adventure, James’ works weave together the world-building prowess of traditional epic fantasy with the interactive and immersive elements of LitRPG. His series, including Beastborne Chronicles and Brookmoors Magi, showcase his unique ability to blend thrilling narratives with richly imagined worlds. Whether it's the expansive, magical landscapes of Beastborne or the darker, more grounded tones of Brookmoors, readers are swept into adventures that keep them eagerly turning the page.
When he’s not crafting intricate plots or building fantastical worlds, James can often be found indulging in his other passion: video games. This hobby, along with his extensive experience as a Dungeon Master in Dungeons & Dragons, has greatly influenced his approach to storytelling. His love for interactive narratives and game mechanics shines through in the way he structures his books, keeping readers hooked with elements that feel both familiar and refreshingly new.
In addition to his thriving career as an author, James has a personal connection to the themes he writes about. His travels—from the swamps of Florida to the peaks of Washington—mirror the journey of many of his characters, and his real-life experiences with gaming and world-building are embedded deeply in his stories. As of 2025, his latest work, Dunes of Midnight, is the seventh installment in the Beastborne series, continuing to capture the imaginations of readers who crave epic adventures filled with heart-pounding action and complex, relatable characters.
James T. Callum's books are a reflection of his own journey—both physical and creative—blending his passion for fantasy, gaming, and storytelling into narratives that transport readers to new worlds. With each new book, James proves that he’s not just a writer; he’s a guide, leading readers through wild and uncharted territories of imagination.
