Letting Go of True Belief, 2023
In this deeply reflective and compassionate story, a pastor walks beside his dying friend, David, a gay man battling AIDS, while also confronting the fragile, complicated nature of his own faith. Through intimate conversations, memories, and moments of shared doubt, the story explores what it means to believe when certainty no longer feels possible.
Sample Excerpt:
David died as separate from his parents as the day they dropped him off in the city as a teenager. Moral insistence, so ingrained in them, polluted every neuron of their brains. They created in their minds and hearts hymns of ritualized brutality. Having a fling with “messiahood” will do that to you. Peter and Nora Pryn imagined only a fiery finish for their son and appeared to look forward to it.

What Silence Will Not Bury, 2026
In the summer of 1937, the quiet world of Att and Vicary is shattered by the brutal lynching of their friend, Waite, a Black farmer on their ridge. The story is a desperate struggle against the darkness that claimed Waite, fought simultaneously in the silence of Att’s heart, the determined steps of Vicary’s resistance, and the awakening conscience of a new generation. Att and Vicary must determine if they can honor their friend and break the cycles of violence and quiet complicity without sacrificing everything they have left.
Sample Excerpt:
Vicary gripped Att’s bare arm and plunged her fingernails into his flesh. His first inclination was pull away, but he decided against it. He accepted her nails a first-order punishment for what he was thinking: How fast must two people run toward someone already dead?
Att had lagged behind Vicary like a willful child determined not to keep the pace. Through clenched teeth, she had encouraged him to keep up. At one point, she had stopped and waited for him. She stood and stared and resented that she served as his conscience.
