    ...or maybe, Jason, you only expect some to ADMIT they get this. Who knew Sterling Hayden was an American Idol fan?

    My GOD Jason, you're even more handsome in cyberspace than you are in person!

    I have some pics of our favorite Galwegian over on my page, doing what he does best.

    Hope you're well!

    Jason, My apologies for not responding to your invitation, but my browser is not allowing me to do somethings here at crimespace, including accepting friends. As soon as I get updated and fully supported, I'll accept! Thanks.

    Hi, Jason. Thanks for visiting my chatterwall. (Wait. Isn't that an old Sheena Easton song?)

    I'm sorry I missed the KGB reading this past Sunday; I hope it went swimmingly (or something more aptly hard-boiled and gritty). Have a good Edgars week xx

    Hi Jason. Thanks for the invite. I think we're MySpace friends, too, so it's good to find you on here, as well.

  • Kevin Wignall

    Hey Jason, thanks for the invite. I would've invited you when I first signed up but didn't realize you were on here... could be the picture! Best, K

    Hey! Read one of yours and thought it was fantastic. Any tips on snagging a lit agent?

  • Rhys Bowen

    Thanks for the invite, Jason.
    I'll try and act noir enough for you!

    Christ almighty, I just realized who you are. Say hey to Ken for me. You rock.

    Jun 14, 2007

  • Lois Reibach

    Thanks for the invite! As a reader and fan, one of the things I like best about crimespace is when somebody I look up to asks to be my friend.

    Jun 14, 2007

  • Debbie Behrens

    Hi, Jason, thanks for the invite. The follower looks good. There's nothing like a little obsession to get your blood flowing!

  • Dave Zeltserman

    Hey Jason, I was going to make some smartass comment about the Sox-Yankees, but after tonight the 12 1/2 game lead will have shrunk to 8 1/2, so I think I'll keep quiet on that front. Best of luck with The Follower--I hope it's big for you.

    Jun 14, 2007

  • Marta Stephens

    Hi Jason. I just took a look at your website. Follower sounds like my next purchase. Thanks for adding me to your group!

    Jun 14, 2007

  • Shirley Wells

    Hi Jason, and thanks for the invite. I've checked out your web site and must check out your books. They sound fascinating. Good luck!

    Jun 14, 2007

  • Bernd Kochanowski

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks for the invite. I already read 1 1/2 of your books. I 'm looking forward to the next half which is coming soon, I think.

    Jun 14, 2007

  • Mike Sheeter

    Hi Jason, and thanks for the invite. Can't wait to read The Follower. Love your books, and also love you collaborations with Ken Bruen. All the best to you!

    Hi Jason! Good to hear from you and thanks for leaving a comment on my page. And I WILL buy a copy of THE FOLLOWER!

    swept by the Rockies, tough break for the $200 mil team.

    Wow, thanks for the invite. What a pleasure. The Follower is on my 'must read' list. Hope to get the chance to meet you at Thrillerfest!

  • Steven Dunne

    Hi man
    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.

  • Dennis Venter

    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.

    Jun 27, 2007

  • Dennis Venter

    Thanks for the comment and telling me about Slide - have already added it to my wishlist.

    Jun 27, 2007

  • Regina Williams

    Thank you for the invite. Sorry, I'm on vacation and I've been slow about getting back to people.

  • Newt Love

    Quite a catalog for a young man. Good for you! I'm hoping old age and treachery will help me become prolific.

  • Ken Isaacson

    Hi Jason...

    Just discovered Crimespace a few days ago. Another excuse not to write! Terrific....

  • Carla Harker

    Love this site. I think I've added about a dozen books to my wishlist (including The Follower) since I joined.

  • Johnno

    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! 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!

    thanks so much. And yeah,
    Babs came from Brooklyn!

  • Mary Elwood

    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

    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.

  • Meredith Anthony

    Jason-- Great article in today's New York Times! We love it!

    Hey, Jason,

    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.
