Life got in the way of my reading this last month, but I did get to read Flare. So without further ado, I introduce the author of Flare, Jonathan Maas. Jon gave me very in-depth interview answers and you can find them here. My review of Flare can be found here.
Jon Maas was born in New Haven, Connecticut and grew up in San Antonio, Texas. After graduating from Stanford University with degrees in Biology and History, he’s earned a living as a Musician, Peace Corps Volunteer, Standup Comedian, TV Producer and Web Designer. His first novel, City of Gods – Hellenica has been well received, and his second book, Spanners: The Fountain of Youth won the award for ‘Best Young Adult Fiction’ at the 2014 San Francisco Book Festival, as well as ‘Best Science Fiction’ at the 2015 IndieReader Discovery awards. Spanners: The Fountain of Youth is the sequel to the independent movie Spanners, which is currently available on Amazon Video. His third book, Flare, has been well-received so far, and won ‘Best Science Fiction’ at the 2016 Los Angeles Book Festival. He has just released his fourth book, the comedy/fantasy The Dog That Laid Eggs.
He hopes to release his fifth book, Dion, shortly, and is currently working on City of Gods II: Horsemen. He writes on his bus commute to and from work, and has a soft spot in his heart for all types of Public Transportation.
