"A sinister cabal of superior writers."
Jason Middlekauff makes a living teaching high school English. When he's not extoling the artistry and power of literary classics or attempting to mold young minds, he enjoys reading (go figure), writing (ditto), listening to music, performing his own music, and traveling. Jason has a wonderful wife, Janet, with whom he shares the affection of their loyal basset hound, Baxter.
