Small Town Odds
Every copywriter has a novel inside.
Jason Headley has one outside.

When you work with Jason Headley, you don’t have to worry about him dreaming of how his life will be better once he writes his first novel. He’s already done it.

And he knows there’s a lot more money in trying to get people to buy things than there is in trying to get people to read things.

But he’ll let you be the judge.

 

Reviews
Wrought with strikingly sublime humor and a decidedly quirky cast of characters, Headley’s first novel details a week in the life of a young man as he struggles for redemption in a stifling West Virginia way station. Small Town Odds is a deftly lyrical debut that introduces us to a distinctively fresh voice in contemporary fiction.
— Barnes & Noble Best of 2004

Told with all the charm of Richard Russo at his finest, Small Town Odds is a celebration of parenthood, and what can happen when one man reconciles with his past. A breezy, enjoyable debut from a major new talent.

Headley's winning wit and his compassionate, delightful prose mark him as a bright new talent.
