I’m interviewed by Jon Mayes

L-R: Famous author Skip Horack, famous publisher’s rep Jon Mayes, famous authors Bob Shacochis, Jamie Quatro and Robert Olen Butler. This is basically a state-of-the-art photograph of contemporary American literature. Once I learn how, I’m going to Photoshop my head in there somewhere. I think between Jon and Bob–where that glowing light is. Perfect!

Jon Mayes is a leading light in the world of independent book publishing and book selling. He spent 24 years as a bookseller, and 26 years as a publisher’s representative. Recently retired, he was the longtime Southern rep for PGW, the largest distributer of independent presses in the U.S.
