Jason Bornstein

I was raised in Durham, New Hampshire, a small university town in the southeast corner of the state. My father teaches audiology at the university and my mother teaches kindergarten at one of the local public schools nearby. From an early age my parents would read and sing to me, interacting with me very much on the level of sound and theatrical gesture. These experiences fostered in me a deep love and appreciation for the sounds of words and the drama and richness they are capable of creating.
I first began writing seriously at the age of eight with the school publication of "Super Worm," which followed the swashbuckling adventures of an ordinary earthworm endowed with superworman strength. Since that first taste of immersed writing I have never looked back. I have three years of experience at the university level in English and Spanish, as well as a myriad of interesting life experiences such as taking on the role of a live-in nanny for a child with special needs for a year, spending a spontaneous, crazy night of waiting tables in the very center of Madrid, Spain, and going on an eastern seaboard road trip with my pregnant wife for five months before ultimately settling in Asheville, NC and manifesting our dream home!
