Jan.01.2013 Backlist thoughts Are here, in my latest blog on my website: http://www.jpsmith.org/blog.htm	Nov.30.2012 Background blogs I'm running a series of blog posts on my website on the background to my earlier books. They can be found here, and will be updated every three days or so: http://www.jpsmith.org/blog.htm.
Nov.27.2012 The Origins of Breathless I've decided to write a brief blog every few days about the origin of each of my backlist titles (at least to the best of my memory), and beginning in descending order of publication, comes my blog on Breathless, which appeared in 1995. I'll post one every few days or so, just to take a breather...	Sep.01.2012 The Return of the Prodigal Books It’s an odd sensation, having one’s backlist come back into print; books that haven’t seen the light of day in seventeen years, when Breathless, my most recent novel, was published (and went out of print, all in the course of eight months or so). I’m happy to have Thomas & Mercer bringing out a...
Aug.07.2012 New editions, new novel So all the information—new blurbs, new covers—for the reissues of my backlist are up at Red Room, as is the cover and blurb for Airtight. Publication date for all isn't until November 20th, but I thought I'd get them up now. I'm well into the new novel, of which I'll say nothing for now,...	Jul.22.2012 Airtight, et al. I haven't been writing much here lately, as my time has been taken up not just with other writing projects (a script, and the planning of a new novel), but also with the forthcoming publication of Airtight as well as new editions, both as ebooks and trade paperbacks) of my previous five novels...
Jun.21.2012 Revamp Time Over the next few weeks, the look of my Red Room page(s) will be radically different, anticipating the publication of my new novel, Airtight, and the reissue on the same day (November 20, 2012) of my entire backlist with new covers, all available in both digital and trade paper editions. Stay tuned.	May.15.2012 Advance word... Amazon has just listed my new book-- Airtight: http://www.amazon.com/Airtight-ebook/dp/B0081SA4Y0/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?i... And links to my back catalogue, all now returning both to print and digital editions on November 20th-- Breathless: http://www.amazon.com/Breathless-ebook/dp/B0081SA65M/...
Feb.22.2010 MY CAREER AS A PETTY THIEF/PART EIGHT/Part Two I GET AN EDGE PART TWO MY "INVISIBLE ANGEL." It's 1961. I'm 18 and I've peaked. Playing on the freshman basketball team I try everything to increase my vertical leap. Deep knee bends, stairway sprints, hops and skips, leg presses--nothing works. I still can't get more than...
