Jason Wallace

Jason Wallace is related to J.R.R. Tolkein, and is a descendent not only of one of the first International English cricketers, but also of the world-renowned Victorian circus owner “Lord” George Sanger. He was born in Cheltenham in 1969 but moved to London after his parents split up. Aged 12, his life was turned upside down when his mother remarried and the family emigrated to Zimbabwe. It was this experience in a tough boarding school during the aftermath of the war for independence that forms the foundation of his incredible novel.  As a young person he met Robert Mugabe when he visited his school.


Jason is currently a web designer, living in South West London.  Writing is his hobby and this is his brilliant debut novel. Look at his great author website HERE.
