Gerard Jones of Ashland

(Not to be confused with other writers of the same name.)

Jones is something of a phenomenon. His huge website, EVERYONE WHO'S ANYONE IN ADULT TRADE PUBLISHING, NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, BROADCASTING AND TINSELTOWN, TOO: A Writer's Guide to The All-Pervasive Propaganda Network (get it here), is a unique and astounding overview of the publishing and film industries, full of valuable information, startling correspondence, wry wit, and Jones' philosophy of writerly existence. He tracks the history of his novel Ginny Good here and now offers a free audio version of the book, filled with production atmosphere. It's a terrific listen (some of which will be in the new edition of the review). Check it out.
