Novelist, playwright and screenwriter Jason Price grew up in the suburbs of Houston. His plays have been performed at Houston’s Tony Award-winning Alley Theatre and Stages Theatre. Price’s 2010 debut novel, Republican Punk - the gonzo travelogue of an ordinary man running for President of the United States – was hailed as “timely,” “relevant” and a “minor classic.” Price’s second novel, Pleasant Grove, is a departure from his previous work. A sci-fi horror adventure about a group of kids escaping a lockdown, Pleasant Grove has been called “one of the best middle-grade sci-fi books.”

Price lives in Houston with his wife and two daughters.
