About the author

Jared’s childhood was split between Phoenix, Az, and Snowflake, AZ. Jared’s sense of writing and adventure was established with the help of his fourth grade teacher. She had introduced him to authors like C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien. This was combined with the stories of his Grandfather as a Seabee with the U.S. Navy during World War II, and the stories of how the Quan (Guan) family participated in the romancing of the three kingdoms in China.

Jared had achieved a milestone with his book Ezekiel’s Gun getting published in 2010, adventure/spy novel. Jared has hopes to have several more books published in the future. He would like to travel the world and see places like China, Europe, and South Korea.

Reviews

[Daniel Yocom · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lifted is presented in snippets. You can easily read through the book moving quickly from one entry to the next. I found it more enjoyable to read it in smaller segments and allow myself to contemplate what the riders shared with me and the larger group of people around me. It provided the small pieces that make up a greater mosaic.

I recommend Lifted to readers who like true life articles where you are presented the people who you pass on the streets and never get the chance to meet.

Ride-sharing who knew

This was a fun read. Fun writing style. Loved the little poems throughout.

Who knew ride-sharing would be so interesting.
