Jason Leigh Smith
Jason began reading at a very young age, and started writing his own work not much after that. His first book was 'terrible', as he wanted to write themes of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll but didn't have the life experience to do those ideas justice at just 15 years of age.
From Hobbyist to Publishing Manager
He continued writing as a hobby through university and eventually found a job working in a small independent publishing house. Working up through the ranks, Jason attained the role of publishing manager and helped thousands of authors bring their books to life.
Now, with years of experience in the publishing industry, Jason is finally ready to release his debut series, A Web of Lies.
A Web of Lies, set within the Archives of the Harvest Wars, a sprawling universe of intrigue, magic, and war.
With fleets of airships, mancery, and the ability to read anyone’s Truth, the Elves have squashed every rebellion with bloodshed and war. But the arrival of a foreign race on the shores of Belissia, threatens to tip the balance of power.
