Welcome To My Web Site! 
This Site is about my interests: Poetry, Literary Criticism, Popular Culture, Vietnam and Korean War Studies, Anais Nin, and all things literary going on in Southwest Florida. For Naples Area Book Events, see Book Events posting.
Postings and pages on this site (unless otherwise noted) are my intellectual property, (c) Philip K. Jason, and may not be republished without explicit permission.
From 1973 until the end of 2001, I taught English and Creative Writing at the UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY in Annapolis, MD. Now, I am finding more time to explore new directions in my writing while leading private workshops, consulting, and writing about new books and book-related events. Many of these pieces appeared in my “Book Beat” column in the Naples Sun Times from July 2006 into June 2008. To read my Naples Sun Times columns click here.
I am also active in the Naples Press Club, chairing its annual Authors and Books Festival. In April, the Naples Gem Society surprised me with an award for my seven years of work on this community event. See Gem Award.
Hi Phil, Your new website is beautiful. Love that Naples pier shot, and not, incidentally, the one of you in a tuxedo. Way cool.
See you’re chairing the ‘09 Authors and Books Festival. Wonderful–hope you feel that way, too! Plan to see you there. BTW, I scrolled around on your site and was pleased to see the review you did for THE BAREFOOT QUEEN is posted. The sequel should be out soon. Many thanks for all. Jean

Hi, Phil and a belated happy birthday! Your website looks good, full as it is of interesting writing, reviews and opinions. If I had a website I would aspire to imitate yours.

Hi Phil,
What a great idea. Please keep it coming.
As literary agents in town Carole Greene and I would love to take on some new clients who have great potential in either non-fiction or fiction. Please mention our names if you like in your posting.
I went through the stories you wrote. Very interesting.
