My name is Jaron McFall. Unless you're one of my students. Then, as far as you're concerned, my first name is Mister. I've been writing since I discovered the talent in the 7th grade. Back then, all I wanted to do was be out of school and never step into a school building again. So, in a way, I can see the irony since that's the age I teach now. My first novel, Surviving, is written for an upper middle grades (8th-9th) and young adult audience (but that doesn't mean adults can't read it!). In my off-time, I enjoy being outdoors. It really helps to unwind. But, that isn't to say I don't enjoy sitting on the couch snuggled with my pup and wife reading a book or playing a game.
