There are two at the moment.

Another Country, June 2026, is a lyrical, darkly romantic, humorous, restrainedly and perhaps even metaphorically supernatural novel about difference and the challenge of coming to know another human being.

Rob tells his Brooklyn friends he is moving to his deceased parents’ remote vacation house to write a novel, but the truth is, he can’t earn a living in the city anymore and he doesn’t have any place else to go. Moretown is supposed to be his secret lair from which he emerges a successful writer and better person, but it is a hard place, and he struggles with his breakout novel, the cold gloom and power outages, alone among rednecks and pickup trucks. Violent local hoodlums think he is a good target for extortion, and there’s weird stuff too: eyes watch from the woods at night and it’s definitely not squirrels.

His allies are a family down the road who are, let’s be honest, a little strange. The daughter, Lia, is apparently in love with him, and, alright, she’s oddly beautiful, but does he really need a backwoods girlfriend? Various versions of his attempt at a novel sound counterpoint to his own situation, but if he doesn’t figure out the weird stuff, he may end up in an unmarked grave in the woods instead of on the bestseller list

To be published June 2026.

Vermont Novels

The second novel, Old Songs. has the stark lyricism and supernatural elements of an old ballad.

1939 college student Tom almost gets shot when he tries to collect folk songs from bitter old Sam, the only one left on Bear Mountain, Vermont. People down in the village aren’t happy about an outsider prying into the past and they try to get rid of him. He would cut and run, only he has fallen in love with a girl: a girl whose family is deeply implicated in a dangerous secret the villagers want to hide.

Back in 1910, Sam is young and poor and in love. While he struggles doggedly to find a way to earn enough to marry Amelia , she falls for his best friend, a foreign farm worker. It doesn’t help that a city man who may be Sam’s actual father buys a neighboring house and the Great New England Dairy Strike divides the community. Sam tries to do the right thing, but like an old ballad, choices narrow, until he must either help Amelia and his friend run away together or betray the couple to keep her for himself.

By 1935, Sam has spent a life alone on the Mountain, but the choice he made in 1910 still haunts him and now so do the people who died because of it. A last mountain panther roams the woods. Has it come for him? It would be easy to give up and let go, but maybe he needs to defy the community and help Tom and his girl (Amelia’s niece) go away. Would that be enough to make up for what he let happen in 1910?
