Jim P. Ballard has been crafting characters and stories as a role player and games master for over forty years. He loves experiencing new worlds through the eyes of personalities wildly different from his own. Valkora began as one of those lived characters: one whose adventures demanded to be written. Four decades provided a rich vein for Valkora’s ongoing adventures in Thivia and a plethora of other lived characters from across the Euripian Coast to share with Jim’s readers.
Once asked when he planned to grow up, Jim replied, “Why would I want to?”
