  <about><![CDATA[Jason S. Hornsby has been attempting to overcome his own existential dilemma since the publication of his first novel, The Perfect Spiral, in 2001.  He is an honors graduate of the University of South Florida and currently trains future spies in Beijing, China while surreptitiously spreading counter-intelligence to young Chinese political dissidents.  When not seeking desert refuge from the impending Apocalypse of 2012, Mr. Hornsby ponders the state of humankind, wallows in his own excess and depravity, and attempts to prove that he is under surveillance by agents of the Dark Government.  He does not feel he can permanently return to America.
