Off The Shelf

Steve Yarbrough has said, "Jerry File Jr. has his own unique voice, and he knows how to tell a spirited story that kept me turning the pages...He's got an eye for the telling detail, too, and he knows what people sound like.  I do believe this man's the real deal."  

Jerry is a favorite reader among those who love to hear fiction read by the author.  C. Leigh McInnis, writing teacher at Jackson State University, told Jerry one night after he read at the Welty Center, "Man, you 'one of the writers that when I see you gonna read, I know I can depend on you;  you always bring it; you never let me down; you have never wasted my time."
