Jeremy Jackson (author)
Jeremy Jackson is an American author. He has written two novels, Life at These Speeds (2002), about a high school boy who finds his life through long-distance running and track,[1] and In Summer (2004),[2] with a similar premise, about a high school graduate caught between his adolescence and adulthood. The manuscript of Life at These Speeds won a James A. Michener/Copernicus Society of America Fellowship in 2000 and was later a selection for Barnes & Noble's Discover Great New Writers. The novel became a feature film, 1 Mile to You, starring Billy Crudup and Graham Rogers (2017).[3]
Jackson has also written three cookbooks, The Cornbread Book (2003),[4] Desserts That Have Killed Better Men Than Me (2004)[5] and Good Day for a Picnic (2005).[6] His recipes and food writing have appeared in the Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, and Food and Wine. The Cornbread Book was nominated for a James Beard Award.
Jeremy Jackson also writes young adult novels under the pseudonym Alex Bradley.[7] Alex Bradley's first novel was 24 Girls in 7 Days (2005),[8] about a romantically challenged teenager who dates 24 girls in 7 days. His second novel was Hot Lunch (2007),[9] about two high school girls who have to take over their school's hot lunch program as punishment for a food fight.
