Jason gurley biography

Being an indie author is hard. First you write, then you edit and then you market - each of these have their difficulties.

Some are huge stars, others are struggling award winners and many are inbetween.

Jason Gurley was recommended to me by Hugh Howey and he very graciously agreed to answer questions for this series.
