Debut novelist Sean Jacques joins us to discuss his book Doe Run, reading lists for high schoolers in 2024, the importance of indie publishing venues, and glimpses into the minds of former theatre kids.

We also get a sneak peek of Doe Run, and touch on whether or not Into the Wild is tragic, turning diaries into movies, and the effects of children's dystopian stories on millenial minds.

Sean Jacques was born and raised in the Missouri Ozarks.
Currently, he resides in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles with his wife, two daughters, and a bird dog named Rye. He is a literature teacher and author after previously working in the film industry as a  screenwriter and script analyst. His short stories, plays, and poems can be found in several noir and grit-lit
publications. Doe Run is his debut novel.

You can find him on his ⁠website⁠, ⁠twitter⁠, and ⁠instagram⁠.
