edit data

Jason Greensides has a degree in Video Production and Film Studies and has made several short films, one of which was a competition winner, and two of which have been broadcast on television; but it's writing fiction he always returns to.

He's interested in 'outsider types', those living on the fringes of society. This inspired him to write his first novel, The Distant Sound of Violence.

He's now working on his second novel, another coming-of-age mystery, but on coffee breaks he tweets on the mysteries of writing, life and the cosmos.
