Jason Behnke was born in Camden, NJ with an overactive imagination as a hyper-observer of people and situations. He moved constantly throughout the northeast of the US until driving across the country to Portland, OR and eventually the outskirts of Seattle, WA where he settled with his wife and cats in the shadow of Mt. Rainier beside a lake.

Jason runs a small graphic design and marcomms business with his wife carrying a handful of clients who use him when they need him for any logo and/or branding design, video editing, or presentation design. He has illustrated for Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: the Gathering, Legend of Five Rings and many other games, books, ccgs, rpgs and other media. He is the lead artist, graphic and layout designer for the independently published Liminal rpg and its supplements.

Finally, Jason is the author and illustrator of the Book of Urm anthology - a collection of hand-crafted tales set in a vast fantasy world developed over thirty years. Each story is a study into the psyche of its characters, exploring the intricate web of their relationships and the personal journeys that shape them.

This anthology intends to remind us that the most compelling stories are those that reflect our own lives – filled with the intimate drama of existence, the beauty of connection, and the wonder of the complex, often relatable, and sometimes bizarre world around us. This collection is a haven for those who seek solace in the written word and find adventure in the depths of human experience.

Welcome to the Book of Urm and all the stories within.
