James Darnborough was born in London and has lived and worked in the media business in the UK, South Africa, and Australia, and currently resides in Los Angeles. It was suggested to him that he write a screenplay about a real-life midwestern baseball player who became the only American to break the bank at Monte Carlo at the turn of the 20th century. Inspired by this incredible story, he spent three years researching and writing a 400-page historical fiction novel titled The Gambler's Game, which is now available at the link below.
This journey has provided James with deep insights into baseball and gambling, spanning from the old west to Gilded-Age New York, Edwardian London, and Belle Epoque Monte Carlo. His research took him to fascinating locations including Mexico City, Colorado, Illinois, London, and Monte Carlo, where he met some amazing people.
"My book, The Gambler's Game, is about the American who broke the bank in Monte Carlo playing roulette in 1908."
