 Jason William Egroff
I graduated from Valley View High School in
Archbald, PA in 2003. I was accepted to Penn State to
major in Information Science Technology. When I realized that this wasn't something I
wanted to pursue, I started seriously focusing on my writing. In that time,
this narrative began to take shape. This novel is five years in the making. As I stated in my interview, this was a labor of love. In 2006, I
founded Simficent Graphic and Web Design. This is my graphic and web design
business. I'm the owner and sole member of the company.
