Coming soon, digital download options for my debut novel, Your silent Face.

What lies ahead that doesn’t suck? Summer break forces Stuart Page to return home and wrestle with his fraying ties to the East Side of Flint, his memory an archive of cassettes he would like to erase. His freshman year of college was lame; more early Cure than Spandau Ballet, he might be overheard saying. More Gary Numan than Falco.

Flustered by visits from a stoic viking and fueled by an endless supply of beer, Stu picks apart an obsession with the lead singer of Joy Division and chugs the sour dregs of romance as he drunkenly veers through summer hook ups, the malignant effects of blue collar fight culture and Catholicism, not to mention the fresh consequences of Reaganomics in Your Silent Face.
