John Ottinger III, Assistant Principal at Pineapple Cove: Jason asked me to review his collection of short stories.

Alexander Moriarty, Meowtel Catsitter & Freelance Web Design: Jason was my editor on the Two Cranes Press anthology "A Field Guide to Surreal Botany." Though most of the anthology contributors were outside of Jason's home of Singapore, Jason kept in touch with us across timezones and continents, and was obviously committed to producing a beautiful book. Once the book was published, he worked diligently with me to help get it into independent bookstores in Boston, MA and also worked hard to distribute it to other bookstores nation- and world-wide. A great editor, truly dedicated to the worldwide SF/fantasy community.
