James Richardson
James Richardson is a freelance writer of fiction and non-fiction. He is the resident critic and recap writer of the television show LOST at TVGasm and writes about numerous topics at his own blog.
A former musician, he is well traveled across Canada and the U.S. and lived for close to three years in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai. It was during these travels that he developed a deep interest in the sciences and what the sciences mean to civilization both past and future.
In recent years, he tried his hand at business, opening a book store in a small town in Canada. The slower pace of that lifestyle afforded ample opportunity to pursue his passion for the study of science. He has taken an interest in physics, astronomy, archeology, paleontology and the study of the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection in particular.
His interests are many and varied. Science, art, humour, television, movies, fantasy literature and more can distract him from whatever he's focussed on at the moment.
He is the author of the fantasy novel Bred in the Bone and it's soon to be released sequel.
