Goodreads asked Jeffrey Stuart Kerr:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jeffrey Stuart Kerr My latest effort, The Republic of Jack, is a political satire inspired years ago by an elderly man who approached me after a book talk to say, "Texas has the constitutional right to secede." My own opinion is that this question was forever answered by the bloodiest war in American history, but then I began wondering, what if?

The Republic of Jack is a whimsical imagining of a world in which modern Texas secessionists get their way, only to learn that Aesop was right so many years when he wrote, "Be careful what you wish for."
