Jason Myers (1983- ) grew up in Northwest Ohio. Avid reader for years he put aside his dreams of writing to raise his children and focus on being an EMT/Firefighter. The need to write never left and in 2019 he released his debut DECISIONS based off of his real life recurring nightmare.
The momentum picked up and he quickly was listed in the table of contents in several horror anthologies as well as several novellas of his own.
He is the co-author of the Eternal Sisterhood Series with RJ Roles. RJ and Jason have since founded Crimson Pinnacle Press, a publishing company that deals with horror and the macabre in themed anthologies released regularly.
He currently resides in Northwest Ohio retired from ems/firefighting after 10 years with his city fire department in Maumee, Ohio.
