James Daniel Ross was born in 1973. He is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, and attended the School for the Creative and Performing Arts. His major was not creative writing, but drama. After graduation, Ross attended Miami University of Oxford, Ohio, but did not complete his studies.

His writing grew out of a long-term involvement in roleplaying. In 1994, he began to "game master" a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (WFRP) campaign that was to span almost seven years of uninterrupted play, and which led to online exchanges in a mailing list for WFRP and development of his writing skills. In the year 2000, Ross began work on a novelette called "I Know Not: The Story of Fox Crow" set in the Warhammer world. Once completed, the story was offered to several official major WFRP publications, but was rejected as being too long to print. A small, unofficial fanzine called Warpstone shrunk their fonts and split the story into three parts to fit it into the magazine. A fellow gamer, Lewis Bear Pollak, recruited Ross to provide the creative force behind the development of a new roleplaying game. The duo, known as Misguided Games Inc., released Children of the Sun. Ross has also worked with BBRACK Productions on their Promised Sands line. A single scrap of paper that had three paragraphs written fifteen years previously was the seed for his first novel, The Radiation Angels: The Chimerium Gambit, published in 2006 by Mundania Publishing. Further titles are in the works.
