Jason Pamment has loved dreaming up stories of adventures in vibrant worlds filled with strange and wonderful characters since he was very little. He lives in his hometown of Adelaide, South Australia with his wife, daughter, and dog. Jason’s background is in animation, having designed award-winning films, children’s television shows, music videos, commercials and video games. Jason’s writing takes inspiration from the places and events of his childhood, mixed with elements of mystery and adventure. His debut graphic novel, Treasure in the Lake, is set in picturesque landscapes reminiscent of the rural, mountainous regions of northern Victoria, a place Jason loved to visit as a child. In Ember and the Island of Lost Creatures, he draws from cherished holidays on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Jason’s stories speak to our emotionally tricky paths to adulthood, and are interwoven with themes of friendship, resilience and empathy.
