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. Leisure activities will find me reading, writing, watching movies, and tinkering about with music--I play guitar and not very well at that!
I enjoy traveling. My wife and I are adventurers at heart and love planning a trip to someplace new or to a favorite haunt. We enjoy being outdoors, so hiking, biking, and paddle boarding will often make the top of the list. Theme parks like Disneyland get thrown into the mix--though my family would argue I enjoy those places as much or more as the kids!
I've been an avid reader ever since junior high. I was a poor student up to that point and had no love of school. But a required reading class in 9th grade forced me to the school library. I was never one for reading. My intent was to simply pass the class period wandering about the library. As fate would have it, I chanced upon a copy of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring". The cover art captured me immediately. I saw a wizard, a warrior with a sword, an elf with a bow, a dwarf with an axe and these smaller characters I couldn't recognize. 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. I picture myself right there along with the main charac...
