One advantage writers get when they work in different fields of writing is more tools for their professional toolbox — but as James L.

JAMES L. CAMBIAS:
My standard bio identifies me as a “writer and game designer.” Some might wonder why. It’s been nearly seven years since my last major game product came out (Weird War I from Pinnacle Entertainment Group, if you’re a completist), while in that time I’ve published four novels and a couple of short stories. Oh, sure, I have put up a couple of little self-published game products on DriveThru RPG, but when I go to my office or the nearest coffee shop to “get some writing done,” it’s fiction I’m pretending to work on, not games…
