Update on me...
So, if any of you weren’t aware already, ive been on the road the last three and a half weeks with the Austin, Texas based psychedelic rock band, The St. James Society. They just signed to the world renowned indie label, Tee Pee records(home of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, the Black Angels, The Warlocks, Graveyard, and The entrance Band). Anyway, I’m documenting their first tour for a...

People keep asking me what my next book is about so here is the simplest way to put it: A cocaine-addicted teenaged guitarist in a rock band falls dangerously in love with a fourteen-year-old prostitute.

Alexander didn’t believe in love at first sight until he met Patti. She’s the kind of girl you hear about in songs: gorgeous, feisty, and dangerous. Being with Patti is better than any high, and he can’t live without her.
But Alexander’s not the only one who wants to be with Patti. Burke ruthlessly takes what he...
Just wait...
till my next book, Run The Game comes out next year! Serious about this. This is the finest thing I’ve ever written. I love it so much. Wish I could share with everyone right now! Love this fucking book. This is all….

h-u-s-t-l-e-h-a-r-d asked: So my mom is really trying to urge me to live a little and get a tattoo while I'm on vacation up here in Michigan. I've been considering numerous options and then finally it hit me as I'm on page 133 of Dead End that I want to get a tattoo of a quote from you. I'm thinking about getting "The decisions that we make." but may end up picking something else from Exit...

myacedia asked: Same.! Haha Chris Palko's a really chill guy in my opinion too even though I've only talked to him once er twice. But his rap = music. And I love the song "Reports of a Possible Kidnapping". But seriously? I needa check out your band I'm sure it's the shit :)
sixsixsixsixsix asked: my day was fine, i didn't do much but relax. how did your book signing go?

Next book...
Patti and Alexander.
First rewrite is done. Book is all kindsa nasty and good. People always ask me why I write these insane stories with so much violence and drug use. Two months living in the Tenderloin could answer those questions but my answer to that: Life ain’t a love story. Great people do shitty things. What some people think as morally ignorant or disgusting, well that...
scuseemewhileikissthesky asked: I started reading Dead End earlier today.. finished it a few minutes ago.
It actually surprised me that it was (somewhat) of a love story.
It was beautiful, although tragic.
Your writing always shakes me to my core..
Exit Here will always be one of my favorites because it is the first book I've read by you.. I guess it's like losing my virginity. Haha.

backdropsilhouette asked: I read Dead End earlier today and it was A+.
I would give it more plus signs but I'm sure it would break tumblr.
I love your writing and hope to see more material from you in the future! =D

accidentalrebel asked: Got my email confirmation from Amazon a couple days back that Dead End has been shipped.
I am stoked beyond reason. I've been anticipating this for months.
The real test will be holding off on reading it until I start in on my vacation in Cali at the end of the month.
It's still the craziest of honors to have one of my favorite authors following me on Tumblr...

Apparently, my new novel, Dead End is already out in some places! It “officially” gets released on the Tuesday, June 14th but from what I can tell, some stores are releasing it already!

sh0tgunkiss asked: Have you ever had feelings for someone that you shouldn't have feelings for (like Kaden did for Caralie)? If so, how did you handle it?
Yo, San Francisco!

berritobandito-deactivated20110 asked: I'm writing an analysis for a english project and it's on your book Exit Here. I'm just slightly confused on the setting of the book. Did you ever give a specific one?
shotdownartist asked: Hey Jason, you've inspired me to write, especially Exit Here, to the point where I did some creative writing assignments on controversial subjects. Now I did get in trouble in two cases, but totally not your fault. A teacher called it obscene and smut and I asked her, is it obscene if it held an important theme or message? She ignored the question and gave me a lower grade. Now tell me Jason,...

ashleysbigbrain asked: Jason Myers, you are such an inspiration to me as a writer. I am not trying to come of as a doting fan, but as a fellow writer. Once I picked up Exit Here I could not put it down, and once I knew writers like you existed I was sure of what I wanted to do. Writing has been my passion since I could pick up a book and read; if you have any type of knowledge you would like to pass down to me, please...
chelseawashere asked: Hey! I love your books, my friend gave me Exit Here last summer and I devoured it. I'm currently reading The Mission and I can't put this one down either. Thanks for writing such addictive books, I can't wait for you next one.

sh0tgunkiss asked: I am so ready for your new book! You have no idea. I'm almost as excited about it as I am graduating high school, haha.
sixsixsixsixsix asked: you obviously have nice taste too but thank you! i'm re-reading exit here atm for maybe the twentieth time or so
Working hard...
on my fourth book called, Patti and Alexander Are Rockers! Also, getting ready for the June 14th release of my new book, Dead End. Busy time but it’s all starting to come together. Everyone who’s been privy enough to read Dead End hasn’t closed it with a dry eye. My best work to date is what I’m being told. Can’t wait for the 14th!!!
