The son of a writer and an architect, Jason Warburg was building worlds in his imagination before he learned to ride a bike. His new novel Home Was a Dream is the third in the Tim Green series, as the perpetually curious Green digs deep into his music-writer father’s past and uncovers a hidden legacy: his grandfather was a Holocaust survivor. Jason’s lifelong obsession with music and a nine-year adventure in politics fueled his debut novel Believe in Me, in which young political operative Tim Green trips and falls headlong into the orbit of a globe-trotting rock and roll band. The sequel Never Break the Chain expands Tim’s universe as he tracks his wayward mother through LA’s rock clubs toward a cathartic confrontation. Jason has also relea ...more

The Truth About Fiction

Some say that people who write fiction are just really good liars—but if you ask me, that’s a damned lie.

Because fiction writers don’t lie; they just find new ways of telling the truth. New settings, new characters, new sequences of events. New perspectives on real moments they have absorbed and reimagined, molding them into a narrative that’s unrecognizable, yet rings true.

It’s the closest any of

Jason’s Quotes

“There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.”
― Stephen King
