70. LG Jenkins: Merit Hunters and Dystopian Dreams

In this episode, I interview LG Jenkins, author of the new adult dystopian Merit Hunters series. Discover the intriguing world of 'The Sun of Endless Days,' where merit points dictate every aspect of life, and explore the inspirations behind Jenkins' gripping tales.

This episode, recorded live at the Harrogate Library, delves into the pressures of modern society, the challenges of writing and marketing books, and the messages woven into dystopian science fiction. Jenkins shares insights into her creative process, her take on today's societal issues, and why she thinks we're already living in a form of dystopia.

Books of hers we discuss: The Sun of Endless Days (Merit Hunters series)
