J. A. Dawson was born in Cambridge, UK. Nothing of note happened after that until he reached his 30s, whereupon he joined a band, wrote his first book, and learned that "epitome" is not pronounced "ep-ee-tome". He knows what an epitome is, he had just never seen it spelt out, so can you really blame him?
Writing in the third person makes him feel very uneasy and causes him to break out in sarcasm because he has very low self-esteem. Despite this, he has plucked up the courage to go on stage and perform in front of literally tens of people sometimes, and start a writing career that he has been quoted as saying "could make me twenty quid maybe, hopefully?"
Maybe one day he'll be able to afford to pay someone to write his biographies for him and paint him in a better light, but for now, you're stuck with what he's writing here.
He hopes you enjoy his work or at least finds it "OK-ish."
