Tomorrow I’ll have a review of Jamie Ford’s debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. He’s on tour this month through Pump Up Your Book Promotion.
About Jamie Ford:
Career-wise, Jamie went to art school in Seattle to become an illustrator, and ended up an art director/copywriter. He’s won an embarrassingly large amount of meaningless awards including 400+ Addys, 7 Best-of-Shows, and his work has appeared in Adweek, Advertising Age, Graphis and Communication Arts. He also had a commercial appear on an episode of The U.K.’s Funniest Commercials inspired by an embarrassing incident with a bidet that he’d rather not go into right now.
On the writerly side, he won the 2006 Clarity of Night Short Fiction Contest, was First Runner-Up in the 2006 Midnight Road Reader’s Choice Awards and was a Top-25 finalist in Glimmer Train’s Fall 2006 Short Story Award For New Writers. He’s been published in The Picolata Review, and his fiction is online at Flashing in the Gutters and Fictional Musings. He’s also an alumnus of the Squaw Valley Community of Writers and a survivor of Orson Scott Card’s Literary Bootcamp.
Jamie’s debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweetwas released by Ballantine–January 27, 2009.
On the personal side, he’s the proud father of two boys and two girls. Yep, it’s
chaos, but the good kind of chaos.
