Fiction

I write fiction as another way of paying attention.

These novels grow out of the same concerns that shape my reflective writing—belief and doubt, moral tension, loss, loyalty, and the quiet ways people change over time. Most are set in and around Boaz, Alabama, not as a brand or backdrop, but as a place where ordinary lives intersect with inherited stories and long-buried truths.

The stories are not arguments. They don’t resolve questions so much as live inside them. Fiction allows complexity to remain intact in a way explanation often cannot.

What follows is a selection of published novels. Each stands on its own. Together, they form a body of narrative work shaped by the same commitment to honesty, restraint, and lived experience.
