Jason M. Bucklew writes survival science-fiction thrillers that explore isolation, human tension, and consequences when science outpaces caution.

His debut novel, Helixandra, follows a group of survivors stranded on a hidden island shaped by dangerous experimentation — and an ancient threat that won’t stay buried.

Jason is hard at work on his next stories, including Witness in the Pines, a horror thriller, and a sequel to Helixandra.

He believes in grounding speculative fiction in real science and believable characters — and telling stories that stay with you long after the last page.

Hi Jason, what inspired you when writing your Books ?

Thanks for the question. My inspiration comes from a lot of different places, including my love of adventure, mystery, science fiction, and the outdoors. For Helixandra, I was fascinated by the idea of discovering a hidden world and exploring the possibilities and dangers of genetic experimentation.

For Witness in the Pines, the inspiration was even more personal. The original idea came from my dad, who suggested I write a story involving Bigfoot. That simple conversation sparked what eventually became a full novel. From there, I combined my interest in cryptids, survival stories, and the mysteries of the wilderness to create the book.

Most of my stories start with a simple "What if?" question. Once that idea takes hold, I build characters and worlds around it and see where the journey leads. Thanks again for asking and for your interest in my books!(less)
