Jamie Baker—017

Jamie wrote a genre-bending foodie book. He is an innovative guy with an interesting approach to writing and marketing his books. Music is a big motivator. It’s enough to make me want to play along with the acclaimed playwright.The main purpose of TAOTB is to discuss storytelling and the origin of thought and a lot of philosophical stuff like that. But we discussed the difference in writing plays for theater and novels. Jamie is an award-winning playwright. He knows the satisfaction of letting the audience in on the play action. How to do that with a novel? He gets it. He’s bringing a lot of worlds together. It’s pretty fun. Am I teasing you? I hope so, because this is cool.
