I've spent twenty-five novels writing about characters trying to figure out what comes next. Most of my books had been wrapped around plots with guns and dead bodies.
But when my father died in 2024, I started writing stories that moved closer to the quiet truths of how people actually live through long marriages, grief, and the places we return to even when we know we shouldn’t.
