J. Reuben Appelman is a screenwriter, his true crime memoir 'The Kill Jar,' inspired the popular Hulu docuseries, 'Children of the Snow' (2020), with Appelman serving as an on-camera investigator and executive producer. He has written for a variety of film projects, received an MFA in poetry from Boise State University and has published across all genres. Appelman currently works as a private investigator in the state of Idaho, where he has lived for nearly twenty-five years.

"'While Idaho Slept' is a thought-provoking, literary chronicle of a small-town murder investigation blistering beneath the unceasing light of international interest, as traditional investigators, citizen sleuths, and the true-crime media acted--sometimes together, often in conflict to uncover the truth. As J. Reuben Appelman brings this terrible crime into focus, he humanizes the four victims, examining the richness of their lives, dissects the mind and motivations of their presumed killer, and explores the world of northern Idaho, a rugged, deeply conservative stronghold steeped in Christian values and American patriotism."
