edit data

Jon Astashinsky is a fantasy author and the founder of Nostone Media. A West Point graduate, he spent five years as a logistics officer in the U.S. Army before trading convoys for code and landing in tech, where he now works at Amazon Web Services.

Along the way he's lived on three continents — North America, Europe, and Australia — picked up a rock climbing habit, and burned through more books and audiobooks than he can count. Patrick Rothfuss got him into writing; Brandon Sanderson made him believe he could build an entire universe of his own. So now he's building one.

Jon lives with his wife Amanda and their two kids, who outrank everything above. When he's not writing or programming, he's probably gaming. ...more
