Jason M. Thornberry is a disabled writer whose work appears in World Literature Today, Los Angeles Review of Books, Grub Street, Maryland Literary Review, North Dakota Quarterly, and elsewhere. His chapbook, The Finish Line, is available through Sand and Gravel Press. Jason lives in Seattle with his wife and dog.

Jason is also the survivor of a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic epilepsy—a life-changing experience that abruptly terminated his quest to become a professional musician. One evening, in the summer of 1999, as Jason’s band was about to release their debut album and begin touring, a pair of strangers beat him into a coma and left him for dead. When Jason awoke, he could not walk or speak. Jason spent a year in a wheelchair before returning to school. He earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Chapman University.

Jason's first novel and a memoir are both under consideration.
