I’m a writer of Southern literary fiction out of Memphis. My fourth novel, THE COLDWATER GIRL, is forthcoming May 2027 from Regal House Publishing. Steve Yarbrough (STAY GONE DAYS) says it’s “soaked in the blues and washed in the blood.” I call it Comic Southern Gothic.
My other novels are COME AGAIN NO MORE (2025) and EVERYBODY KNOWS (2023), both from JackLeg Press, and LONG GONE DADDIES (2013, John F. Blair). Find my short fiction in the Oxford American, The Common, and numerous journals; essays in The New York Times Magazine and The Branches.
Novels available at the usual places, with signed copies from Burke’s Book Store.
