About the Author
James Daley is a writer, editor, educator, and game-based learning evangelist. He spends his time teaching writing to college students, creating websites about video games, and editing anthologies of fiction and political rhetoric. When he's not glued to his computer, obsessively poring over pixels and pronouns, James can usually be found somewhere in the waters around Newport, Rhode Island, with his wife, daughter, and a very well-dressed, cute little shivering mutt named Savvy.
