Award-winning author Holden Sheppard drops by JOY Breakfast to chat about his new novel King of Dirt, a raw and powerful dive into FIFO life, masculinity, bisexuality, and mental health. Known for Invisible Boys—now a hit TV series—Holden shares what it was like watching his work come to life, writing from personal pain, and why his new main character Jack Brollo is basically… him, but angrier.
We talk therapy before storytelling, tradie culture, homophobia in small towns, and the big queer MCU he’s building—yes, the “Shepherdverse” is officially happening, with all his book characters colliding in a massive crossover novel coming soon.
Also: what do straight readers think of the “man-on-man sexy times”? Holden tells all.
