Books Are the Key to Freedom in Post-Apocalyptic America in Jacqui Castle’s “The Seclusion”

May 18, 2021

In this episode 210, we visit with Jacqui Castle, author of “The Seclusion,” a timely dystopian thriller which showcases the danger of totalitarianism in America in the year 2090. It was Foreword Indies Book of the Year Award Winner in Science Fiction and the winner of the North Carolina Author Project.

When best friends Patricia “Patch” and Rexx discover an old van filled with dangerous contraband—books from before The Seclusion—the pair head on a journey to save Patricia’s father and truly understand how events happening now caused this uncertain future.

Atia Abawi, award winning foreign correspondent and author of “The Secret Sky” and “A Land of Permanent Goodbyes”, calls The Seclusion, “a terrifying glimpse into what could be at the end of the path America is on today. Castle does an amazing job transporting us in to the future—too great a job.”
