About
THE OUTERLANDS:
Alex didn’t want to die, but he
just couldn’t take it anymore. Dwight’s pills seemed to promise escape… and
escape is exactly what he gets. He ends up in a world reminiscent of his
childhood Wonderland, but nothing is as it was in Alice’s day. The Outerlands
are a twisted version of his favorite story, with strange characters and
unnatural dangers. Before he can get used to his new home, it’s threatened by
an outside force. Will Alex ever find a place where he feels safe?
Originally from Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, Jared fell in love with stories at a very young age. This love
led him to major in English and Theatre, a decision that brought him many
adventures, such as performing in Footloose, Cats, and West Side Story.
His first full novel, Rising Sign, was started backstage
during a production of South Pacific in Indiana. Five years later, his debut
novel was complete and he headed back to school for his Masters in Special
Education. By the time he graduated, he had written the following two books in
the trilogy, Ruling House and Returning Planet. He used his school
experiences as a base for his standalone novel, Let's Play It By Ear. His newest novels, The Outerlands and The Good
Witch are slated for release in 2015.
Jared currently lives in New York
City with his cats, Benedick and Beatrice. He works during the day as a high
school English teacher and theatre director at a Deaf school.
