Forgot to tell you that I finally read Jigsaw Youth a few months ago.  Great read.  Would obviously resonate with young women more than a middle-aged guy, but it was enjoyable.  :)

Hey SG Land.

Here's what I've been up to:

-My third book has been published by Eraserhead Press. It is now available in print and for your kindle HERE. SHIT LUCK is a bizarre dark comedy that reads a lot like a slasher if it were performed by the Monty Python guys.

-I also have a short story in this anthology that Word

I also aspire to be a writer, I'm working on a psychological horror novel, maybe a short IDK because I've never completed a book before and it's a lot more work to make things up than I thought it would be.

I've just finished reading Ritualistic Human Sacrifice by CV Hunt. Holy. Shit.

The story follows a douchebag named Nick Graves and the incredibly fucked up predicament he finds himself in. When he decides to tell his wife that he wants a divorce, she steals his thunder by saying she's pregnant. He never wanted kids and this revelation makes him resent her even more. They fight,

Jeremy Robert Johnson is the author of Skullcrack City. If you're just tuning in, check out my review of the book HERE.

Jeremy Robert Johnson is quick, funny, and lethal when given kid's toys that emulate any kind of weapon. Prior to the release of his debut novel, his fiction appeared internationally in numerous anthologies and magazines, and in 2008, he worked with The

Agreed, great interview.  Your experience as a writer seems to give you the right insight on how to interview one.  Or maybe you just know how to pick the ones who are good interviews.  It's interesting to read the reviews on Amazon and see a handful of people say they couldn't get beyond the first quarter or third of the book because they didn't like the writing while others lamented that the first third was the best and wished the rest of the book was more like that.  I'd guess having written the book in starts and fits over such a long period with significant life changes along the way might have resulted in his writing style or mindset for the times he did have to write changing, as well.  Hence, so many different people sort of echoing that there seemed to be three distinct sections to it.  The one 2 star review about the plot being greater than the characters and depth seemed to be good at complementing it in a way many of the 4 and 5 stars cited, while giving a good reason other elements were subpar.  I haven't read much beyond yours and the first Bizarro you were in, but that seems to be part of the genre - it's the circumstances, settings, and ideas at the core with everything else often being secondary.  I don't think that's a criticism as much as an observation.  That type of writing isn't going to be for everyone, which is why it's more of a niche genre.  There wasn't as much depth and realism in There's No Happy Ending as much of the stuff I've read, but at the time, I think I described it as a quick, enjoyable romp.
