There are two accepted forms that show possession for singular nouns ending in s:

Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word: James'

Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word: James's

Examples:

We're going to James' birthday party.

We're going to James's birthday party.

James's. All possessives take " 's " except for words which end in "s" because they are plurals. James does not end in an "s" because it is a plural; it is not a word for more than one Jame.
