Greetings! Thank you for stopping by. I'm Jason, the one responsible for all this--for better or worse! Like so many others, I have a passion for stories and writing. I am very excited to share this passion and hope others will enjoy the journey as much as I do. ​I have many interests and hobbies--too many! It's the curse, or blessing, of my kind. There's just way too much amazing stuff out there. I love being active. It's how I recharge. Mountain biking, hiking, running, swimming, martial arts, snowboarding, skateboarding, water sports, and trampoline parks are all fair game.

They were all standing upon an exotic landscape in a world I wanted to know more about. Something drew me in. I brought the book back to the reading class. Before I knew it, I was hooked, whether I wanted to be or not! This serendipitous happen chance led me down an unexpected love for reading. Soon, I was devouring books of all kinds. It became a refuge for me. A place I could escape. Because of all the voracious reading, something happened with my grades. They started to improve. Gradually, I became a better and better student. To this day I am still an avid reader, though finding the time can be a challenge. A lot of distractions compete for my time these days. I love stories. I really enjoy being caught up in a good tale.
