About Jason

Academically, I'd be the last person hired. I didn't go to school for writing, or do well in high school English - verbs and nouns are Latin to me. But I've survived some of life's cruelest jokes and honed a therapy treatment through writing stories grounded in naturalism, with a wild unyielding heart. My first three shorts combined were selected at 92 festivals, 54 award nominations with 17 wins.
