Jason Beveridge

Although I qualified as an environmental scientist, specialising in marine biology, range land ecology and freshwater limnology, fate took me into the world of business, working for major corporations.

My creative journey began while living in London, designing a fantasy board game titled the Middle Kingdom of Mu. In quiet moments, often travelling overseas, I had fun writing the lore and inventing the different realms. Why a board game? Back then, I thought digital games would deprive our two sons of social interaction and limit their development. How the world has since changed.

Being time-poor, I never thought about creative writing; let alone whether I had the aptitude. On holiday travelling to Bali, I discovered through my new Kindle emerging novelists writing great fantasy and sci-fi, and this encouraged me to have a crack.
