About Jamie Ford:<\/p>\n

Career-wise, Jamie went to art school in Seattle to become an illustrator, and ended up an art director\/copywriter. He’s won an embarrassingly large amount of meaningless awards including 400+ Addys, 7 Best-of-Shows, and his work has appeared in Adweek, Advertising Age, Graphis and Communication Arts<\/em>. He also had a commercial appear on an episode of The U.K.’s Funniest Commercials<\/em> inspired by an embarrassing incident with a bidet that he’d rather not go into right now.<\/p>\n

On the writerly side, he won the 2006 Clarity of Night Short Fiction Contest, was First Runner-Up in the 2006 Midnight Road Reader’s Choice Awards and was a Top-25 finalist in Glimmer Train’s Fall 2006 Short Story Award For New Writers. He’s been published in The Picolata Review<\/em>, and his fiction is online at Flashing in the Gutters<\/em> and Fictional Musings<\/em>. He’s also an alumnus of the Squaw Valley Community of Writers and a survivor of Orson Scott Card’s Literary Bootcamp.<\/p>\n

Jamie’s debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet<\/em>was released by Ballantine–January 27, 2009.<\/p>\n

On the personal side, he’s the proud father of two boys and two girls. Yep, it’s
\nchaos, but the good kind of chaos.<\/p>\n
