Biography

Jason Lloyd is a poet, author, and artist. Salty Aftertaste (Ginge Publishing, 2013) is his first creative nonfiction novel. The book reached Smashwords top bestseller list in Gay & Lesbian Fiction and was a bestseller in the New Adult genre on All Romance Ebooks (ARe).

His second book, Queer Dirty Laundry (Ginge Publishing, 2014), is a creative nonfiction novella. The book reached Smashwords top bestseller list in Gay & Lesbian Nonfiction, was a bestseller in the Nonfiction Romance genre on All Romance Ebooks (ARe), and was a bestseller in the Gay Fiction genre on Amazon and Google Play Book Store.

Jason is currently working on an M/M Romance, and Mystery/Suspense fictional series called Filthy Fibbers. Filthy Fibbers is centered on five friends and the scandalous secrets they’ve kept. The book takes place in a small Pennsylvania town called New Hope, not far from where Jason grew up. The first book in the series is a prequel called The Garden of Fibs and Sin (Ginge Publishing, 2015).

Having gotten his start writing poetry, Jason is going back to his roots when he fell in love with the written word. He created a collection of poetry and artwork called Mixed Tape (Ginge Publishing, 2015). He feels that the poetry is relatable to anyone, and the poems are the most personal material he has ever written. His latest experiment in poetry is blackout poetry and word art.

Smashwords Interview

Your first book Salty Aftertaste has been out since September, how did it feel to publish your first book?
It's been an amazing experience. In a lot of ways a lifelong dream came true. It has also been a huge learning experience for myself. I learned so much about publishing, marketing and writing in general. With anything that's new there's always a few mistakes to be made and now that I have dealt with those mistakes, I feel that the process will be smoother for my next book.
When people hear the title "Salty Aftertaste" they often laugh. What's the story behind the title?
Well... The title has many meanings; there's the obvious funny "sexual" innuendo and because the story is set at the beach, the whole "salty" sea water thing. But what some people don't realize is there's a deeper meaning behind the title. When you think of a "salty aftertaste" sometimes it's a good aftertaste, but sometimes it's a bad aftertaste, depending on what you just ate. The same thing could be said for experiences you go through, sometimes they are good, sometimes they are bad. Every experience stays with you, just like an aftertaste. The book is about the experiences the characters go through and they are both good and bad.
