In this interview, we hear from a member of the first four-year graduating class of James River High School, Kevin Powers. After leaving high school, he enlisted in the army and was called to serve in Iraq, simultaneously pausing his writing career while also providing him with the tools to succeed in it later on. Tune in for the next few minutes as he shares his journey from the military to publishing his award-winning book: The Yellow Birds. He discusses life experiences, explains his writing process, gives advice to aspiring authors, and answers the question: did he or did he not meet Jennifer Aniston on the set of his book’s movie?
