HI, I'M JACOB
Horror | Dark fantasy | Science Fiction
Ever since I was a child, I've been wanting to be a writer. After six years of kicking stones, I decided to start Odd Pages. A small press publisher for authors, by authors.
In 2020 I went through one of the worst depressions of my life. I had been unemployed for over a year and the business I set up all folded. I was living at home and everyday was another reminder that I had failed in everything I ever tried.
One night, I had a nightmare about suffocating on Mars and now wife, suggested I write about it. It started out just as a scene but after a week I had written over thirty thousand words and it had grown into a whole world that had consumed me whole.
I have severe dyslexia and could only read fluently at sixteen. Writing a novel was something that I considered insurmountable but I've always considered myself a natural storyteller. My dream is for people to read and love the work that I put so much time into.
ABOUT ME
Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be a writer.
In 2020, I went through one of the worst depressions of my life. I had been unemployed for over a year, and the business I set up all folded (it was space-saving furniture). I was living at home and every day was another reminder that I had failed in everything I ever tried.
One night, I had a nightmare about suffocating on Mars, and my partner suggested I write about it. It started just as a scene, but after a week I had written over thirty thousand words, and it had grown into a whole world that had consumed me whole.
I have severe dyslexia and could only read fluently at sixteen. Writing a novel was something that I considered insurmountable, but I've always considered myself a natural storyteller. My dream is for people to read and love the work that I put so much time into.
