More About Jason:
Author Jason Singleton never wanted to be a writer, but he states he has things to say and that blank pages make the best listeners. He feels that his best writing comes from posing great questions. With his new middle-grade novel, Dino Mike, that story emerged from a question that came to him in the night, what if a carnivorous dinosaur developed a moral objection to eating other dinosaurs?
When Jason isn't writing anthropomorphic dinosaur adventures for middle-graders, he likes to watch football and eat cheeseburgers. He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is the proud father of a daughter. His favorite dinosaur is a thesaurus.
Dino Mike is Jason Singleton's debut children's novel.
