Jason Wallace (b. Jan. 19, 1982) is an American Indie author and publisher, not to be confused with the author of the same name from London, U.K. He is a winner of the Bolivar/Gandhi/Seijong Writing Award.
Early Life and Education
Wallace was born Jan. 19, 1982 in Terre Haute, Indiana to Darrell D. Wallace and Jacqueline D. (Creed) Wallace. He grew up in the neighboring town of Marshall, Illinois. Wallace is of largely German ancestry, with English and smaller amounts of Scottish, Irish, French, and, possibly, Cherokee ancestry. An oral tradition in Wallace's maternal family is that some of his ancestors were Cherokee that were removed from the Southeastern United States to what is now Oklahoma.
Wallace attended Marshall, IL High School, where he was an ISAC scholar. He turned down scholarship offers to numerous universities, attending Indiana State University but dropping out in 2001, after 1 year. Wallace later finished his Bachelor's degree at Eastern Illinois University and earned a Master's degree in American and European history in 2013.
Wallace's 2014 book, Under the Cypress Moon, sold nearly 10,000 copies in its first 2 months of publication, at one time, holding the rank of the 7,295th highest selling book on Amazon. This is considerable for an Indie author (no representation or publisher; Wallace has self published all of his works).
