No Muse Required: How to Write Without Waiting for Inspiration
A field manual for people whose writing life has to fit inside an actual life. No mysticism, no head-patting, no waiting for lightning — a practical system for producing real, publishable work in the fifteen-minute increments a working life allows. The muse isn't coming. Momentum is better company anyway.
Dead Letters
Marcus Reid holds an Oxford doctorate in violence and morality — and a previous life that taught him the subject firsthand. Now he teaches literature in Chicago, until a dead drop lands mid-lecture and the life he buried comes to collect. Le Carré's chess, Lee Child's velocity, and a hero whose weapons of choice are a fountain pen and academic credentials.
Palms
Magda Reyes is thirty-nine, divorced, and living with a pain that has outlasted every doctor. From her mother's window on Pintail Drive she watches the healer across the street — and the man who greets the healer's two fan palms the way you'd greet a horse you'd known a long time. What follows is a season of healing that may not last and a love that arrives without guarantees: a novel about touch, pain, and longing — and what it costs to keep your hands open when you can't know what's coming.
