Nathan R. Wheeler

Nathan R. Wheeler was born and raised in the small town of Wheelersburg, Ohio, where he grew up as the oldest and coolest of four siblings…no matter what they say.
From a young age, he found himself captivated by movies—watching them, quoting them, and eventually writing stories of his own. That love of storytelling led him to screenwriting, where he crafted The Callback, a screenplay that has now become his debut novel (with the help of fellow writer Jan Morgan Ison). With this first book, Nathan is excited to share his passion for blending cinematic imagination with the written word, bringing characters and stories to life in a whole new way.
About the Book
The Callback

The Callback is a gripping psychological thriller by Nathan R. Wheeler and Jan Morgan Ison. At its center is Brandy Hughes, a young woman desperate for her first break in Hollywood. She walks into an audition filled with nerves and fragile hope, believing talent and heart will be enough. But as the callbacks unfold, her world turns darker with every step. The stage that once promised a future soon hides secrets she never expected. Each moment forces her to question herself, and each silence grows heavier than the last. What begins with lines on a page becomes a fight for more than recognition—it becomes a struggle to survive in the face of fear and control. Tense, emotional, and unforgettable, this novel captures not just the cost of ambition but the terrifying risks that lie behind the veil of every dream.
