This week on We Should Write, we welcome Jeremy Baker; combat veteran, PTSD survivor, and debut crime fiction author. After leaving college at 19 to serve as a U.S. Army counterintelligence agent, Jeremy spent two decades in national security focusing on intelligence, counterterrorism, and transnational organized crime. His powerful debut thriller, Guilty Sleep, mirrors pieces of his own journey: an Afghanistan vet grappling with PTSD, loyalty, and survival. Our conversation will dive into Jeremy’s extraordinary life, the healing power of writing, and how fiction can be both a reckoning and a release.
