Now, I am finding more time to explore new directions in my writing while leading private workshops, consulting, and writing my "Book Beat" column in the Naples Sun Times. (To find my columns, click "Bookbeat" link in left-hand menu. To find all my writings for this paper, use the advanced search tool, entering "Jason" as author.)
