Jerry Jay Carroll is a former journalist nominated twice for the Pulitzer Prize and the author of five novels, among them Top Dog, a NYT bestseller. His latest is The Horror Writer, a thriller about a hugely popular author who writes low-brow crap for the masses made into splatter movies.

Carroll was a feature writer and columnist at the San Francisco Chronicle before moving with his wife and son to Montana
