edit data

James Ramos (he/they) is a nonbinary, unapologetically dorky Minnesota native who now calls Arizona home. Weaned on a steady diet of science-fiction, comic books, and classic literature, James wrote his first story at eight years old and hasn’t stopped writing them since. He counts Jane Austen and Frank Herbert as his biggest literary influences, and believes in the unifying power of the written word. James is passionate about storytelling, particularly stories that give voice to marginalized people, especially those within the LGBTQ community and people of color. When he isn’t writing he can usually be found cosplaying with his friends or surrounded by his amazing family of cats.

Quotes by James Ramos (?)

“I'm gonna be really real with you. People are a fucking mess. We love to complicate simple shit, and simplify complicated shit. Sometimes, we get so caught up in trying to follow the rules that we forget to question whether or not the rules make sense. What works for Miles and Shante won't necessarily work for you, just like what works for Mom and Dad doesn't work for me. Remember what I said about being honest.”
― James Ramos, Daniel, Deconstructed

“What’s on your shirt?” she asked suddenly. “Darth Vader,” I answered briskly. For someone who held me in such obvious contempt, she asked a lot of questions. “So you’re a Trekkie.” This was a statement rather than a question. I cringed. “Not exactly.” “I think Star Trek is silly.” “Not”
