Get to know Jeremy
Jeremy has written two novels. Amansipation is a sharp, satirical take on workplace and social politics. The plot takes off when an ill-conceived universal basic income trial collides with the misadventures of Joel, an unassuming, accident-prone protagonist, setting the stage for chaos.
His first novel, Deep Transit, takes a more serious tone. It follows Sarah, a bold young woman attempting to escape an authoritarian Australia by crossing the Pacific in search of asylum in Chile.
A second draft of Jeremy’s third novel is almost complete, which explores social/generational inequity and cult stereotyping. It blends drama and satire with elements of the supernatural.
