Jason King

SONY DSC For years Jason King publicly proclaimed his identity as “the chosen one,” but medication and a stint in a minimum security health and wellness facility convinced him that was not the case. In order to cope with his greatly diminished role in society, he devoted his free time to making up stories.

Born in Salt Lake City Utah, Jason grew up on a steady diet of anime, science fiction, Dungeons and Dragons, JRPG’s, and chocolate cake donuts. By some inexplicable cosmic anomaly Jason managed to marry, and is the proud father of four children, one of which is certainly destined to one day slay him and absorb his soul.
Jason holds a bachelor’s degree in I.T. Management and is currently the Internet Marketing Manager for a local bookstore chain. He’s the author of The Age of the Infinite Trilogy, and Valcoria Children of the Crystal Star from Curiosity Quills Press. He is also a proud “anonymous” member of the Space Balrogs comedy troupe, and he speaks fluent Labrador.
His books include:
