Jason Myers was born in 1980 and raised on a farm ten miles outside of the small town of Dysart, Iowa. After
he graduated high school, he moved to San Francisco where he studied
film at the Academy of Art University. It was there, after taking a
Screenwriting 3 class that he met and studied under the inspiring instructor
and author James Dalessandro. James helped Myers grasp the value of
having great stories within the story and also the value of pacing. He also
taught him how to structure his stories in a way that made the reader feel
invested. Myers then sat down in early 2003 and began working on what
would become the first draft of Exit Here. He signed with literary agent
Gary Heidt and in 2005, at the age of 24, he signed a major publishing
deal with Simon & Schuster. Exit Here would go on to be released in May
of 2007 and thus far the book has sold over 90, 000 copies worldwide.
In 2010, Myers' second book, The Mission, also on Simon & Schuster,
was released worldwide. The book went into its third printing six months
after its release and has already sold nearly 30,000 copies to date. Myers
recently signed a new two book deal with Simon & Schuster. His next book,
Dead End, a Midwestern Gothic back roads chase thriller will be released on
6.14.2011 and his fourth book is set to be released in the Summer of
2012.
Myers continues to reside in San Francisco and writes full-time.

There is literally nothing I love more than a Jason Myers book, and this one is no exception, especially since it follows James Morgan, a character that I simultaneously love and hate. It's very easy to let yourself get sucked into the potentially offensive things that come out of Morgan's mouth, but really what's he doing is being a kind of real that most people are afraid of even coming close to and refusing to let anyone turn him into anything else, which is ultimately why I love him.
I actually have no idea if what I just wrote even makes any sense, but it's the best way I can manage to explain why I loved the story. Do yourself a favor and pick this up, I promise you won't regret it!

I think this short story might be up there in my favorites from Jason Myers. Even though, I hate James Morgan, it wasn't all that bad. It shows the true side of a writer, the good and the bad. Not too bad.

I really wish I could have a copy to add to all my others. But the book was very good!
