The Journey

Michael Sawyer leaves California with a duffel bag, a black Lab, and no particular destination. Two thousand miles later, he stops in Franklin, Tennessee. This interactive map follows that road. Every marker is a place from Jetson’s Journey—the towns, the pull offs, the long empty stretches between them. Some are real, and you could drive to them tomorrow. Some exist only in the novel. Move through them in order, the way the story does, or wander wherever you like. It’s the route, not the plot. Nothing here gives away where the story lands. Jetson’s Journey, the debut novel by Brock Alston, arrives September 15, 2026, from Natchez Press.
