About the Author
Jason A. Spencer-Edwards
I was born on July 23, 1971 in London, England to Jamaican born parents. I moved to New York City at the age of nine and have resided in Laurelton, Queens for twenty-one years.
As I child I was extremely outspoken and many people convinced me that law was the profession I was best suited for.
I never imagined my love for the written word would move me in another direction several years later. At the age of twelve writing poems was my favorite hobby and night after night I wrote in my room.
Pursuing my law dream, I graduated York College (Queens) with my Bachelors in Political Science. I took a temporary paralegal job in a vast law firm in New York City and after witnessing law in a wider scope, I decided going to law school wasn’t what I ultimately wanted.
I felt I needed to be more creative as I was in my poems, creating different environments with a thought, pen and a piece of paper.
I continued writing poems and after several to my fiancé she suggested that I write a book. That ignited a fire that I didn’t even know existed and I finished my first book JIGGY in a month.
I didn’t go through normal channels as I self-published my book with my savings from temping. My companies motto is "Publishing book that make a difference." I have always revered the power of the written word and one of my poems states this:
Do words have mystical powers?
Or is it the person who utters them
Those twenty-six letters are fearless
When put together in different combinations
Attach some feelings and emotions the result
Is stronger than a tornado or hurricane
They can cut through people or open hearts
WORDS, WORDS, WORDS
Be careful how you use them the power they behold can be to overwhelming to the average user
I want to have an positive effect on as many lives as possible and I know by writing books I will.....................
