www.inkthinkerblog.com — George Jansen’s second novel, The Fade-away, was released in June by Pocol Press (which, admittedly, has a pretty crappy website) and has already received a positively glowing review from The Hardball Times, excerpted in part below:
It’s likely you’ve never heard of George Jansen. This is just his second novel, and it’s published by a small house. You probably won’t find a big stack of copies at your local Barnes & Noble. You’ll probably have to seek this one out online.
Take my advice: Do so. Your effort will be more than amply rewarded. This is a flawless book, every bit as richly wrought as such classics of the genre as Eric Rolfe Greenberg’s The Celebrant and Harry Stein’s Hoopla, yet a quicker, funnier read than either of those. The Fade-away is something very special.
It’s worth reading the whole review, but you can get the gist of it from that. I might be biased, since I edited it and all, but I think both this and his first book, The Jesse James Scrapbook, published by Hilliard & Harris in 2003, are outstanding and absolutely worth picking up. Visit his website to learn more about George and Jesse James, and of course the most recent book.

Kristen—I went to college in B.G., OH with a guy named George Jansen. I remember him as a creative guy. Wondering if it could be one and the same.
