Description: With piercing hazel eyes, and a mop of brown hair, James has a rumpled, well-worn look about him. Determined to get the story, he will follow a good lead anywhere. He sees everyone, including criminals, as having a story to tell. Something that has kept him out of trouble with the criminal class, and somewhat ignored by the cops (who see him as very green). Growing up in Detroit, his father and uncle were very much into cars, and he learned to drive very fast and very well at a young age. Has a great “nose for news” for hunches and danger. Works at Lake City Tribune.
