After completing a PhD in psychology from Oxford in 1995, Jason moved to Canada and now makes his home on Salt Spring Island. He has travelled to more than eighty countries, with a special fondness for the Middle East and the South Pacific, and has just completed his first book ('Deep Voices', Trafford Publishing, 2008) on the topic of dolphins and whales in mythology from around the world. His travel interests lie in remote and often unheard-of places - count Niue, Sao Tome and St Helena among them. Previous publications include Westworld (Canada), Odyssey (South Africa) and Distant Shores (UK).
