Find your first read
If you’re wondering which of my books to read first, you’re in the right place. Every story I write carries faith, grit, grace, and a willingness to step into the hard places—but each one has its own tone and weight.
So tell me what you’re in the mood for, and I’ll point you to the best place to begin.
Where to start
“I want something eerie, spiritual, and a little unsettling.”
Start with Afflicted.
This is the one for readers who love supernatural suspense, spiritual warfare, and stories where the unseen world feels just a little too close. Set against the backdrop of a revival, Afflicted leans into mystery, darkness, and the kind of faith that has to stand its ground.
If you want a story that lingers and keeps you thinking, start here.
“I want a haunting Southern mystery with past and present colliding.”
Start with A Bridge to Die On.
This story weaves together two timelines through a bridge that refuses to let the past stay buried. If you love eerie atmosphere, generational secrets, and spiritual battles that echo across time, this is a strong place to begin.
It’s layered, unsettling, and rooted in the idea that what came before us still matters.
“I want sweeping Southern historical fiction with depth, family legacy, and faith under pressure.”
Start with the Arledge Hall Trilogy.
If you love stories that unfold over generations, this is your doorway. Set in the Mississippi Delta, this series follows the Arledge family through some of the most defining years in American history—where choices echo, loyalties are tested, and faith is anything but easy.
You’ll want to read these in order:
The Golden Hour — Where it all begins. Set in 1852, this story lays the foundation with decisions that ripple through everything that follows.
The Longest Day — The Civil War arrives, and everything is tested—family, survival, and belief.
The Setting Time — Reconstruction. What’s been broken must either be rebuilt…or left behind. This final installment brings resolution, healing, and hard-earned redemption.
If you want to settle into a story world and stay awhile, start here.
Want to bundle and save?
“I want something gritty, emotional, and deeply redemptive.”
Start with Seventy Times Seven.
This is for readers who aren’t afraid of the hard parts—broken relationships, painful pasts, and the kind of forgiveness that doesn’t come easy. It carries a Southern grit-lit feel while still pointing toward grace that meets people right where they are.
It’s raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful.
Still not sure?
Start with Afflicted if you want suspense and spiritual tension.
Start with the Arledge Hall Trilogy if you want immersive historical fiction.
Start with A Bridge to Die On if you want mystery with a haunting edge.
Start with Seventy Times Seven if you want something raw and redemptive.
Or just pick one and step in. I’ll meet you there.
