Jason R. Thrift
Anyone who elects to chase
down their dream, no matter how challenging, will have someone with
them who gives them that inspiration and that extra kick saying:
'You're almost there, keep it up!' For 'The New Earth Saga,' fellow
author Jason Thrift served as that person. He acted as the beacon at
each failure or dead end, illuminating the next road in the steps to
achieving the final goal of publication. In addition to this, Jason
played another significant role in the creation of this website,
clearing out some of the technical issues in the site's beginning.
