Born May 20, 1970 in the small town of Corning, New York, Jason Melby spent his formative years living throughout the continental United States, Hawaii, and most of Europe. A graduate of Virginia Tech and Johns Hopkins University, Jason presently resides in Melbourne, Florida. His suspense novels feature dynamic characters overwhelmed by extraordinary circumstances that force them to confront their greatest fears. Jason draws heavily from personal experiences and the raw emotions they evoke, and his writing absolves his readers from the monotony of their day-to-day routine and reacquaints them with the human spirit. For Jason, a life without art, without creativity or imagination, is a life without passion. And a life without passion is meaningless.
