Jason Peterson

Jason Peterson is the author of picture books like BLUES WITH A BUTTER KNIFE (Astra/Calkins Creek) and is a middle grade writer and musician. His writing has appeared in Performer Magazine, The Current, American Songwriter, Living Blues and elsewhere. When not writing, Jason can be found building a to-be-read pile of books that will hopefully not topple over - and also playing bass guitar. He was born and raised in Chicago and now lives with his wife, two kids, and a scruffy dog in south Louisiana, where he’s still getting used to trading in snow for swamps.
