about me

I am a thirty-something married father of two based in the UK. I discovered a passion for writing when I was a very young teenager but unfortunately I remain very much a closeted writer at the moment! Although I am hoping that 2011 is the year all that changes.

My loved ones all think my writing is fantastic but, of course, they would! I have joined Authonomy to get some feedback from aspiring writers as I am keen to learn and mould my manuscript into something with real commercial appeal.

My dream is almost certainly the same as many other members on Authonomy. I long to be able to give up the day jobs and indulge my passion for writing full-time. I have scores of stories in my head which I am chomping at the bit to get down on paper and share with the World....

One comment on my first book The Deadliest Sin sums up my style and target market perfectly:

'I noted your like of Dan Brown and we have to take our hat off to him, because he has managed to tap into the international zeitgeist and ride that wave. He writes screenplays basically in book form and this is what we have here from you, confident, yet not cocky, descriptive and it tells us, as much as shows, a tense, terse, fast-paced piece of thriller writing. This is writing that does exactly what it says on the tin and it breaks the rules of aesthetics and it is not poetic or elegaic, but it is functional, pacy, intriguing and a real page-turner. You have a formula here, individual to you, thought through and impressive. A great book for the popular market, story to the fore, great short, punchy and engaging chapters. Will be backing this soon, best wishes and good luck, Andrew.'

If you don't have enough time to read all 15 chapters I would recommend Chapters 2,3 and 4 to get a feel for the pace and theme of the book.

The Deadliest Sin

Jason Worthy

The Deadliest Sin will send you crashing into a future new World order from the start. How far will people really go for greed?


As the CEO of the World’s most recognisable brand, Mike Shapiro’s life is crumbling around him. With profits crashing out of control and only the promise of a tarnished legacy left, what lengths will he go to in order to save his reputation?


On the other side of the planet in the deepest parts of Vietnam, an eccentric recluse named Zander Graaf sells a hallucinogenic discovery to a mysterious stranger, blinded by the promise of riches and blissfully unaware of the unthinkable chain of events he has set in motion.

Jack Stratton lives in a new world order where the balance of power has well and truly shifted. The year is 2045 and Jack is, in theory at least, the most powerful man in the World.

A series of shocking events will challenge the very fabric of his world. With his life hanging in the balance Jack can suddenly trust no-one. When he finds one man who offers salvation can he afford to trust him? Can this beacon of hope really help him unravel the frightening facts before him or will he turn out to be yet another deadly attacker?
