  <about><![CDATA[In 2005, Seth Harwood began writing his debut novel, Jack Wakes Up. No stranger to the literary scene, Harwood had graduated from the prestigious Iowa Writers' Workshop just a few years earlier and his short stories had been published in numerous literary magazines and anthologies; getting attention from publishers for Jack Wakes Up, however, proved more difficult. 
So in July of 2006, Seth recorded a podcast of Jack Wakes Up and posted it on his website, SethHarwood.com, for free download. The podcast was a major hit and the Jack Palms Crime Podcast Series was born. 
Today, Harwood has amassed a devoted following of over 10,000 listeners and on May 5, 2009, JACK WAKES UP: A Novel (Three Rivers Press Paperback Original) will finally be available for readers everywhere.

Born in Boston, Seth Harwood currently lives in Berkeley, CA, with his wife and their dog.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Raymond Carver, Raymond Chandler, Lawrence Block, Junot DIaz, Denis Johnson, Dennis Lehane, Robert B.
