On this episode of the Work From Home Forever podcast, we sit down with bestselling author Jack Lawrence. Jack, a former family therapist, shares how his career took a dramatic turn after selling his private practice and deciding to pursue his passion for writing. With his debut novel Blood Thorn earning the 2023 Fall Book Fest Award, Jack’s writing career took off, allowing him to work full-time from home.

Jack opens up about the factors that led him to remote work, including his experience with virtual therapy sessions during the pandemic and a desire to spend more time with his family. He also discusses the balance between his creative schedule and family life, managing to blend book tours with family travel.

A highlight of our conversation is Jack's unique ability to weave his background in therapy into his novels, creating characters with rich psychological depth. Jack’s latest works in the David Thorne series continue to captivate readers, and we get an exciting preview of what’s coming next. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on creativity, work-life balance, and the journey from therapist to award-winning author!
