Author Bio:
Jason Gabriel has been obsessed with fantasy and science fiction for over 40 years—both on the page and on the screen. He has written dozens of novels and short stories in both genres. His collection of books has grown so large that he has begun to wonder if his next adventure should be finding a bigger office. As for TV and movies, if its Science Fiction or Fantasy, he has seen it.

His lifelong love of books began with his first real paycheck at a public library, where he was tasked with “shelf reading” to ensure books were in their proper places. But more often than not, the librarians would find Jason sitting cross-legged on the floor, lost in yet another story. That early obsession with books never faded—it only grew, and it inspired him to create epic stories of his own.

When he is not writing, Jason enjoys riding his bike (weather permitting), playing board games, and daydreaming about the beach. He has a dog who thinks he’s a cat, a cat who thinks he’s a dog, and another cat who… well, doesn’t think much at all. Jason enjoys red wine, beer, and brandy—in that order, but never on the same night.

Now, after decades of reading and watching fantastical worlds unfold, Jason Gabriel brings his own imagination to life, crafting stories that blend action, adventure, and unforgettable characters.
