About

It really felt kinda weird to write about myself in third person, and, while I understand that’s how it’s generally done, I chose to do it my own way. Call me a rebel. Though to be fair, I wrote a third person blurb for a few online marketplace author pages and a dust jacket that went something like this… 

Jason Lancour is the author of the fantasy novels, Rise of the Red Hand and Storm Cloud Rising. Despite life’s numerous demands, he tries to spend a small portion of each day with his head in the clouds. In his writing, he hopes to share with his readers what he has seen up there. He currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works in film and television, helping to tell other people’s stories. (Blah, Blah.)

 See? Awkward. Doesn’t really tell you much “about” anything that you didn’t already know.

 I suppose I could say something about how I got from “Hey, self! We should write a book!” to twenty years later finally publishing something. That is an absurdly long saga riddled with excuses and setbacks that don’t really amount to anything either, so I’ll spare you the details, and simply suggest that the rocky journey from there to here made me a better writer. The early drafts were terrible. Just terrible. But here we are, and I am glad to be working on the next novel in the series.

 See? That’s sorta “about” something.
