Jerry Jamison answered a question about The Puffer Bellies: How do you approach blending humor and emotion in your storytelling? I love to pull humor into all of my books. I like to read books like that and I naturally inject humor into all of my stories, even the dark ones.

Jerry Jamison liked Wilma D.'s review of The Puffer Bellies: "As someone who usually reads contemporary fiction, I wasn’t sure if this would resonate. But I was blown away.
