The Author's Story
Being an avid reader undoubtedly developed within Jason an ease and intimacy with writing. He's always loved reading, so it’s no wonder that he finds the process of writing a joy.
His father also had a passion for literature, but as Jason literally doesn't recall ever having a conversation with his father, he had never had the opportunity to thank him for genetically passing on to him a love of language and written words.
Jason was fortunate enough to be raised in the vibrant, multicultural Finsbury Park, North London. He believes that at the time there was about a 95% chance that any two residents of Finsbury Park, chosen at random, would have been of a totally different race or ethnicity. And even though the official language was obviously English, the lively streets were brimming with global languages. Growing up in this intriguing melting pot created within him a keen interest in interracial relationships and is partly why he delves into it in A State of Mind.
He was unfortunate enough to have had his beloved sixteen year old brother, Kingsley Iyasara, shot dead in Finsbury Park. It devastated his family. Shattered him! He wept in his sleep. He didn’t even think that it was possible. He woke up on one harrowing morning, soon after his brother’s death, with tears streaming down his face. Overwhelmed with grief. Utterly Heartbroken! In spite of this personal tragedy or because of it, he tackles gangland issues in his novel.
Three youths convicted in relation to his brothers murder were themselves shot dead within two years of being released from their lenient sentences. Jason doesn't condone murder, but naturally he didn’t mourn their demises or lose sleep over the possibility that they would be murdered again in the depths of hell by demons that, although heartless, know that Kingsley Iyasara didn't deserve to die and would not permit his killers to reside among them.
