Jerry Jamison answered Diane J's question: For someone new to your books, which title or story in the 'Tales of Suspense' series would you recommend starting with, and why? The series is designed so that you can jump in anywhere—the stories are not connected in any way other than they generally all take place in the eras of 1940-1960.

Jerry Jamison liked Claude S.'s review of The Puffer Bellies: "Sometimes, a book doesn’t need to shock or dazzle to leave an impression—it just needs to tell the truth in a voice that feels real. That’s what Jerry Jamison does here. The Puffer Bellies is about remembering—what we’ve lost, what we’ve inherited, a" Read more of this review »

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.
