About J.A. Yang

J.A. Yang

J.A. Yang

Location: San Francisco, California

J.A. Yang has slummed it in the valley with the Wakefield twins; slumber partied with Huey, Dewey and Louie; joined Krakow in stalking Angela; and climbed every mountain with the Von Trapps. Originally from San Diego, he’s lived and traveled the world (okay, not all of it) in pursuit of that most elusive of targets — inspiration. He’s authored and published a book, written for online and offline publications, and maintained a variety of popular blogs on subjects ranging from movies and technology to personal stories and amateur musings. He’s just wrapped up his second book, a fiction novel for teens, and is hard at work on his third one.
