Joshua James followed an unusual path to arrive here (i.e. writing in third person about himself in an author biography). He has worked as both an accountant and a graphic artist. Before either of those pursuits, he submitted a string of short stories to Analog, Asimov's, F&SF and Interzone. He even got a couple published. But finding an agent and writing on spec dampened his enthusiasm. Still, his childhood love for Robotech and ST:TNG meant he could never truly ignore his geek side (and also meant he wrote Star Trek/Robotech crossover fan fiction--yes, that's a thing). Lucky Universe, his first published novel, introduces us to Lance Corporal Lucky Lee Savage, a beast of a Marine running away from a bloody past and unwittingly into a fight for the survival of mankind. It has been described as a cross between Starship Troopers and Jason Bourne. Joshua lives outside Washington D.C. with his family.
