Jay D. Pearson

Jay Pearson (1961- ) was born in Seattle, Washington to Scandanavian parents, who helped him develop an early passion for reading, especially all things magical and fantastic. Early favorites included C.S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles and Ruth Stiles Garnett's My Father's Dragon series. After reading J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings as a young teen, he began writing fantasy fiction. Jay has published poetry and magazine articles, but The Dragon of Faery is his first published book series.

When he's not writing, Jay is swimming competitively or coaching swimming. He still lives in the Puget Sound region with his wife, son, and two cats. Look for the third book in his series, Bones of the Dragon, in 2021.
