I'm excited to officially announce that my new novel THE CODGER AND THE SPARROW will be published by TCU Press in 2024! It's a dream come true to collaborate with this prestigious university press. Thank you TCU Press and my agent Mark Falkin!

"A dream come true." I can't say it more plainly than that. I'm so grateful to Charlotte Gullick and my wife Lori Hoadley for helping me edit this new novel into something special.

Thank you to all of my writer friends who generously spent time reading and blurbing this novel: Kevin Wilson, Annie Hartnett, James Wade, Stacey Swann, Brian Kindall, Thomas H. McNeely, C. Matthew Smith, Johnnie Bernhard, Ran Walker, Philip Elliott, and Rick Treon, Author.

Thank you to Jeff Loftin for taking a stellar photo of me for the book.

And thank you to my family and friends who enthusiastically read an early version of this novel and provided me valuable feedback.

2024 can't come soon enough! Looking forward to seeing this dream come to fruition!
