Spend your lunch hour with Iowa-born author Zachary Michael Jack as he introduces his newest book, What Cheer: A Love Story.

Part romantic comedy, part whodunit, part great American road trip, What Cheer is a celebration of love sprung from perfectly surreal yet real places What Cheer, Lost Nation, Story County. Here's a comedy of errors featuring three not-yet-over-the-hill friends, a series of dreamy love letters, and a mysterious list of warm, nearly-gone touchstones that inspire a rollicking ride through the Heartland.

Zachary Michael Jack has authored or edited more than fifteen award-winning books in a variety of genres, including fiction, poetry, essay, literary journalism, and creative nonfiction. He is an associate professor of English, at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois.
