Jason has played many roles: office temp, stamp cutter, cheesecake maker, box builder, gym janitor, cashier, sacker, hotel front desk and night audit, retail sales, and information technology to name a few. The hardest job he’s ever had—and the most rewarding—has been as the owner of Grey Gecko Press.
In May 2011, Jason finally finished his first novel, The Dying of the Light: End, and was faced with a choice: to seek traditional publishing or to use the new medium of self-publishing to circumvent all the rigmarole and nastiness that came with the old way of doing things. That wasn’t a choice at all, and thus Grey Gecko Press was formed.
Jason’s primary responsibilities are to layout the titles for printing and ebook formats, arrange cover art, track sales data and all the other day-to-day operations of the company, as well as to insure that its guiding values of partnership with authors and innovation in the industry are maintained.
