hi here's a brit who is interested in your stuff.as soon as I can get 49cents togethyer(jesus!Thats nearly 25P in real money!I'll check you out.Good luck with your career(I'm a writer manquee myswelf)
Nice to hear you read from SLIDE & chat at Mysterious Bookshop this past week. Oh, and I did catch the Zapruder film of your killer Karaoke cover of Journey -- excellent rendition!
Just finished Slide! Terrific! Bruen said part three makes SLIDE seem like a cozy, Jaysus!
A coincidence, in my book I referred to the Beatles "Let it Be." And mentioned John Lennon, implying he was the performer. Similar to page 158 in SLIDE. A beautiful dark haired woman set me straight. You should be so lucky.
Hope to see you again at next year's L. A. Times Festival of Books, or sooner if you’re going to be here on the Coast before then.
Jason-- Great article in today's New York Times! We love it!

I finished Cold Caller on the plane on the way home from Denver. Great story. The gang over at The yahoo group rara_avis have been having a "what u reading" discussion and your name is prominent on their reading lists.

Love your books...I have read them all twice! I just finished The Follower and am already waiting for the next one to come out. PS Love your collaborations with Ken Bruen. Best of luck and much success with your book sales and hope to meet you at a book signing in LA one of these days

Hi Jason! when did you get started writing, in kindergarten?! sorry, you look back fondly on remarks like that in years to come. just found your name on a link from Megan Abbott's website. will read you. I am aspiring at the advanced age of 150 to finishing my noir novel! all the best!
I just finished Lights Out and wanted to congradulate you on the character of Christina Mercado. Hard-boiled crime fiction like this rarely produces three-dimensional female characters. You know, they're always some variation of the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold, or a femme farale, or some impossibly perfect 23 year-old runway model with a Harvard Law degree, but I loved Christina. She was very real - I understood her motivations and actions (not to give anything away) up until the very end. Nice one.
Hi Jason, just finished reading Bust - hilarious and edgy stuff. If I may ask - how was it collaborating with Ken? Practically, I mean, being on different continents and all.

Just thought I would introduce myself. I'll check out The Bully. I love short stories.

Just discovered Crimespace a few days ago. Another excuse not to write! Terrific....
Thanks for the welcome. Great CV. You're well past the tricky 2nd novel phase that I'm wrestling with I see. Good luck with The Follower.
