    Bonus episode! Emma and Annabelle interview Jason about Scar Dakota

    Here's a bonus episode we're cross posting from Jason's new podcast, The Book Drop Mic. Join us as Jason's beta readers and good pals Emma Wierschke and Annabelle White ask him questions about his new middle-grade novel Scar Dakota and its journey to bookstores. Jason opens up about writing, what he learned from the Zoom beta reading group, and all three share their favorite scenes and characters. You'll absolutely love these two spunky hosts!

He's just moved over Christmas break from North Carolina to the very strange mountain land of Utah. Suddenly Shane's grandparents are raising him and he's spending way too much time teaching his grandpa about Netflix while learning more than any seventh grader ever should about pickleball. But even Shane knows those aren't his biggest problems. His mother, a member of the National Guard, has just passed away and Shane is struggling with the truth. Plus when the holiday break ends, Shane has to walk into a huge new school with a story, a secret, and a fresh scar on his right cheek. Shane tries to fit in, but he can't stop thinking about his mother, wondering about a father he's never even met, and remembering the bizarre accident in North Carolina that sent his world spinning. Just when it all feels upside down, Shane makes friends with his new neighbors Kabir, Ink, and a crew of almost-famous YouTubers. Shane even scores a new nickname - Scar - and he actually likes it! But just as Scar finally finds his place, he betrays a friend and receives a mysterious text message that threatens to expose his secret. Can Scar face the truth about friendship and his family in front of the entire seventh grade on the biggest stage he's ever seen? Will he learn lessons about the power of religious and cultural diversity in time? More than anything, Scar must learn that everyone has scars, and if we choose, they have power to become beautiful.
