Pour yourself a nice steaming cup and settle in to get to know James Dick a little better.

“As a child, I was always more comfortable disappearing into imaginary worlds rather than spend much time in the real one. I could go into the backyard and play-act with toy swords for hours, weaving huge, complex stories of magic and adventure. My parents kept telling me I should write these stories down, and one day, in grade five, that's exactly what I did. I just started pouring all the worlds in my head out onto paper and I haven't stopped.”
