About Me

My name is Jason and I'm a screenwriter and novelist. I'm a regular working stiff who grew up in Music City (Nashville, TN), studied film in college and married young (we're still married, but now I’m old). We have an adopted son named Andrew, because that’s my middle name, because my father named me after Andrew Jackson, because he wanted me to be President. Sorry, Pops.

Hobbies include Jiu-Jitsu, theology and pretentious discussions in coffee shops. I also enjoy dressing like an author (for the uninitiated, this is jeans and a sport coat -- in any weather) to impress my six fans. I’m a philosophical minimalist and pet peeves include clutter, misusing the word “literally” and owning cats that can’t do tricks (you know who you are!).

Favorite authors are currently George Orwell, John Green and Hugh Howey (this changes frequently).

I'm currently working on a post-apocalyptic novel set a hundred years into the future called Westside Saga and culling together an academic work, tentatively titled God and the Skeptic: A Rational Inquiry, which I hope to keep under 1,000 pages.

Favorite quote: “Suspense is anticipation mixed with uncertainty.”

Here are a few of the books I read last: 

Catcher in the Rye, Son of Hamas, The Plagiarist, Wool, On Writing, The Fault in Our Stars, Ender's Game, 1984, Animal Farm, The Legend of Bambo, Hopeless, The Rosie Project, The Giver, The End of Religion, Shift, Dust, Eleanor, Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Letters from a Skeptic
