Jez Cajiao ditched school at 11 to join the family catering circus—because who needs algebra when you've got appetizers, right? After feeding people for years, he escaped to Greece to sling drinks and live his best bartender life. (The stories from that era are locked in a vault marked "What Happens in Greece...") Next came welding—sparks flying, metal melting, living the dream! Until his lungs said "nope" and gave him welder's lung as a not-so-fun parting gift. Then 2020 happened. Pandemic + dodgy lungs = mandatory couch time. But instead of binge-watching Netflix like a normal person, Jez decided to write. Every. Damn. Day. Plot twist: readers actually liked his stuff! Now he's living his best author life in South Shields, surrounded by his wife, two kids, two dogs, two cats, and the legendary Sanddancers (local dance troupe or mythical creatures—you decide). Stalk him on Facebook, Discord, Instagram, and TikTok where he's basically the friendliest author on the internet!
