Author bio

Jason likes stories, on the page and on the stage. He lives with his partner Rebecca and their two pups in Florida near the Gulf. Author, publisher, director, actor, playwright, improviser, teacher, and marathoner. OK, just one full, but lots of halves. :) As an actor Jason has portrayed everything from a rapping dinosaur to a robot and from a hitman to Hamlet. He has written plays about J.R.R. Tolkien and Stevie Wonder, directed plays about hiccuping dragons and foul-mouthed puppets, and once while improvising he was attacked by a stage light. He writes thrillers and plays, and publishes lots of memoirs by other authors.
