Mixed Tape (Poetry, Quotes, & Other Stuff)

By Jason Lloyd

Remember when you were a kid? To show someone that you cared, you made them a mixed tape full of songs that meant something to you. You blushed and handed them the cassette tape hoping they would get the message. The songs were your love notes.

I made you this mixed tape full of hopes and dreams. This is the soundtrack of my life... written in words.

Contains over 60 poems, quotes and thoughts.

Jason Lloyd

Jason Lloyd is a poet, author, and artist. Salty Aftertaste (Ginge Publishing, 2013) is his first creative nonfiction novel. The book reached Smashwords top bestseller list in Gay & Lesbian Fiction and was a bestseller in the New Adult genre on All Romance Ebooks (ARe). His second book, Queer Dirty Laundry (Ginge Publishing, 2014), is a creative nonfiction novella. The book reached Smashwords top bestseller list in Gay & Lesbian Nonfiction, was a bestseller in the Nonfiction Romance genre on All Romance Ebooks (ARe), and was a bestseller in the Gay Fiction genre on Amazon and Google Play Book Store. Jason is currently working on an M/M Romance, and Mystery/Suspense fictional series called Filthy Fibbers. Filthy Fibbers is centered on five friends and the scandalous secrets they’ve kept. The book takes place in a small Pennsylvania town called New Hope, not far from where Jason grew up. The first book in the series is a prequel called The Garden of Fibs and Sin (Ginge Publishing, 2015). Having gotten his start writing poetry, Jason is going back to his roots when he fell in love with the written word. He created a collection of poetry and artwork called Mixed Tape (Ginge Publishing, 2015). He feels that the poetry is relatable to anyone, and the poems are the most personal material he has ever written. His latest experiment in poetry is blackout poetry and word art.
