Fiction
Short stories and novels about ordinary people at the moment something's about to give. New work and older, posted free.
I write short stories and novels — mostly about ordinary people at the moment something in their life is about to give. Small towns, bad weather, decisions that can't be taken back. The stories tend to be quiet, and they tend to end a beat before you expect them to.
Most of the work lives on Substack, where it's free to read. The novels are collected below.
