Jason Shearer, better known under the pen name Oscar Bernie, is an American writer. He is best known for Oscar Bernie's Bookshelf, a satirical web-log chronicling the efforts of an (possibly) insane fiction author to publish his second novel.

Bernie has published multiple technical publications, and he is purportedly releasing a novel in 2015. He works in the Defense industry and was involved in the development of computer packages for several electronic systems used aboard spacecraft, satellites, and aircraft.

Career
In early 2014, Bernie began publishing Oscar Bernie's Bookshelf at http://www.oscarbernie.com. Initially published as a traditional blog, it rapidly developed an ongoing storyline about an author's journey trying to publish. Beginning with a satirical entry entitled "What 80's Movie Are You -- A Dialogue to My Assistant", fictious elements and the ongoing story-line began to supercede the actual blog content. Revolving around a plotline where the neighbors will continue at any cost to block Oscar's publication, he resorts to utilizing his children and various other rediculous (and often supernatural) elements to foil their ongoing schemes.
