Writing is like capturing in your hands a few rays reflecting off of life. You breathe between your fingers, then release your creation into the darkness. Every reader sits alone, waiting for you to unveil the light.
~Jason Evans
Born and raised in iron and coal country, Jason is a thirty-something attorney and writer in Pennsylvania. When not practicing law in Philadelphia, Jason can be found losing himself in the mountains with his wonderful wife and two daughters.
