One of Jake's earliest literary memories is of Frodo and Sam outside the gate at Bree. The wall was bigger, the night darker, and the thunder louder, but reading J.R.R. Tolkien sparked a lifetime love of reading fantasy that later expanded to include science fiction.
Jake was born and raised in Southern California, eventually pursuing a degree in Physics from the University of California and migrating to the middle of the country to Texas. He now calls Dallas home, along with his wife and two border collies.
