Jamie Chambers was born in Atlanta and grew up running around barefoot in the pine forests and kudzu fields of north Georgia. The son of a Trekkie and an early D&D player, Jamie was doomed early to a life of geeky pursuits. He began playing role playing games at the age of seven and writing his own fiction at eight.
In sixth grade he discovered the Dragonlance novels and game products. Science-fiction was also a love, and many years later he was one of the fans heartbroken upon the cancellation of Firefly—so much that he was determined to be involved in creating a game tie-in to the movie Serenity.
High School Senior, 1993
After a lifetime of creating (and playing) games and writing (and reading) stories, Jamie has launched Signal Fire Studios LLC, creating game and entertainment products. He’s had stories, game products, and articles published by many companies and is pursuing creative writing projects for publication.
Jamie lives in north Georgia in the neighborhood he grew up in with his wife, three children, three cats, and a golden retriever.

I come from a very musical family. Mom fell for Dad when he was a rhythm guitarist and backup singer for a country and rock cover band — and he looked a little like John Lennon and sounded a bit like Paul McCartney. I grew up with Dad singing “Here Comes the Sun” to me [...]
Good evening — or morning — folks!
I just returned from an evening expedition a place here in Canton, Georgia known to the locals as “Hell’s Church.” It is a place of urban legend, supernatural rumor, and the site of real-life crime when the church was burned to the ground in 1990.
I’ll keep the names of [...]
