Want Jason to take part in your book club discussion of Small Town Odds?
Let him know.

If there are no scheduling conflicts,  he’ll call and talk to the members of your club. All you need is a speaker phone and plenty of questions.

Some discussion questions for your book club.

• Small Town Odds alternates between chapters set in current time and chapters set in the past. What purpose do you think this serves in the telling of the story?
• Discuss the roles that Jill and Gina play in Eric’s life. Do you think either one of them are exactly the way Eric sees them?
• An entire chapter is devoted to Eric’s grandpa, Jim. Why do you suppose so much time is devoted to a character who’s only mentioned one other time in the book?
• Eric was set to attend an Ivy League college. Why do you imagine he settled for the two jobs he has?
• Why do you think Eric and Deputy Daniel Moran have such an antagonistic relationship?
• There are three main father figures in the book. Who are they? How are they different? How are they similar?
• If Eric is so interested in forgetting about the past and his hero status as a high school football player, why does he get so upset the night that Pinely beats Cedarsville?
• What do you think are the “odds” referenced in the title?
• Discuss the relationship between Eric and Deke. Is it like any friendships you’ve had?
• What do you think will become of Eric after the last page of book?
