Congratulations, Jon! I read "Knockemstiff" recently, and thought of you - the tone reminds me of your poetry, and it's definitely a work of a specific place, like High Season. In this case, though, the place is the hamlet of Knockemstiff, in Southern Ohio. Have you gotten to read it?
I'm the author of the Frank Coffin mystery series, HIGH SEASON (2007), MATING SEASON (2009) and FIRE SEASON (2012) from St. Martin's/Minotaur. I've also published three books of poems VANITAS MOTEL (1998), THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE (2001), and The MANSION OF HAPPINESS (2016), all from Oberlin College Press. I'm currently at work on a comedic novel and a new book of poems. When I'm not writing I'm a college professor, a sort of okay guitar player, a guitar gear junkie, and a husband and father in progress.

Thanks, Bill!

I haven't read "Knockemstiff," but it sounds pretty interesting. I'll have to pick up a copy!
