Bus Full of Losers: Very Random Thoughts Four Days Before The Release of My Novel
http://jpmantooth.blogspot.com/2013/05/very-random-thoughts-four-days-before.html
Bus Full of Losers. Friday, May 31, 2013. Very Random Thoughts Four Days Before The Release of My Novel. On Tuesday, my first novel hits the shelves. It's something I've dreamed about for a very long time, certainly since high school, but most likely even before that. How does it feel? Anthology that everybody wanted to be in. This was a turning point. If I could write a short story that Ellen Datlow wanted, I could write a novel that one of the big six wanted. It was probably a little irrati...When I fi...

Bus Full of Losers. Saturday, December 29, 2012. Five books I loved in 2012. I don't know when these books were published, I only know that I read them in 2012 and each book, in its own way, took over my life for a little while (the way all good books should). Here's the list in no particular order with links so you can order them! Dare Me- Megan Abbott. Well worth checking out. The Next Time You See Me- Holly Goddard Jones. A Monster Calls- Patrick Ness. The Devil All the Time- Donald Ray Pollack. A dar...

Bus Full of Losers: July 2012
http://jpmantooth.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Bus Full of Losers. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Is no more. Well, the book still exists, but the name is history. The new title is The Year of the Storm. I think this is a better fit and will work better with expected cover art, not to mention that it's more evocative than Slip. It was tough to let go at first, but now I'm completely sold on the new title. Just need to get used to referring to it as The Year of the Storm. The year of the storm. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bus Full of Losers. Monday, April 28, 2014. It's been a while. I've been busy, too busy to check in, I suppose. But here's what you missed:. My debut novel, THE YEAR OF THE STORM.
