This is the webpage of Jason Marc Harris: howdy! I'm currently a college professor at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne Florida and am active in a variety of writing projects, from critical books to novels, short stories, screenplays ( especially scifi lately--including time-travel, the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012, folklore of the British Isles, remote-viewing etc.), video game design, and comic books. See loglines below. I'm always interested in new creative projects--including collaborations--so get in touch!
Eventually there will be other things to peer at here, but for now, please browse the wares and consider buying something, using the links to ashgate.com, amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com. Don't forget to say hello when you stop by!
