An excellent interview with Jason about his book, writing, and the media of today from the IronAge Marketing Podcast.

Jason J. McCuiston was born in the wilds of Tennessee, where he was raised on a carnivorous diet of old monster movies, westerns, comic books, horror magazines, sci-fi and fantasy novels, and, of course, Dungeons & Dragons. He attended the finest state school that would have him with the intention of becoming a comic book artist. This did not pan out, so following his matriculation and a brief and unprofitable stint as an illustrator of tabletop RPGs, he embarked upon a whirlwind tour of spectacularly underpaid and uninspired careers. Half a lifetime later, he came to his senses, realizing he was meant to be a professional storyteller.

Publishing his first story about zombies, kung fu, and family ties in Parsec Ink's 2017 Triangulation: Appetites anthology, McCuiston has been a semi-finalist in the Writers of the Future contest, and he has studied under the tutelage of bestselling author Philip Athans. His stories of fantasy, horror, and science fiction have appeared in numerous anthologies, periodicals, websites, and podcasts, notably Dark Owl Publishing's Something Wicked This Way Rides anthology, StoryHack Action & Adventure magazine, and Black Infinity magazine.

Project Notebook, his first novel, was published in summer of 2020 to critical acclaim. He has since released a series of pulp sci-fi adventure stories with Dark Owl Publishing featuring his signature hero, the Last Star Warden. You can find all of these and most of his other publications on his Amazon page.

McCuiston lives in South Carolina, USA with his college professor wife and their two four-legged girls, Winky and Tonks. Connect with him on Twitter @JasonJMcCuiston.
