Hi, Carla. Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, Jason’s earlier stories are no longer available for purchase online. A re-release of his earlier work is not entirely off the table. In fact we would love to see it happen.

Before writing On Wings Of Broken Silence I had a dream about a woman sitting in a chair watching a large bird strut around her yard. I wrote the title before anything else and for the next year I tried to figure out what was really going on in that yard.

I write all the time from when I wake up to when I go to bed. I love to write. Even if it is just a list of groceries I love to see the words materialize on the paper.

I am working on several cool things at the moment but the next book published should be a collection of short stories.

The Grey Havens. I have lived a long time and I am ready to go there and do what ever the cool kids do there.

I read and reread everything by Yiyun Li over the summer. Her new book is fantastic. While our writing styles and themes differ of course, I hope to someday be half the writer that she is.
