Jared "Jay" Davis is the author of the Eamon adventure Realm of Fantasy released in November 2006. Davis also wrote walkthroughs for seven Tolkien-themed adventures, originally published at EAG Online.
In correspondence with Huw Williams in 2022, Davis recalls first learning about Eamon when he was searching for games based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, which led him to explore the broader Eamon series. Davis ultimately used Eamon Deluxe to build his own adventure, an experience he considered a lot of fun despite some things being "a bit above my skill". Davis also wrote the original Oz-themed text adventures My Adventure of Oz and Dot and Tot of Merryland using the Computer Novel Construction Set, both of which he credited to "Dorothy and Ozma Productions".
Davis is a published writer of fiction, an avid reader with a special interest in the Oz series and Tolkien's legendarium, and is researching the life and work of E. T. A. Hoffmann, author of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. He also runs a Discord-based RPG and has two podcasts, The Royal Podcast of Oz and Let's Get Both Ties.
