Greetings to All who visit this site:
I have just finished digging up some human treasures buried deep in the rural south. The chiseled-from-stone permanence of the characters in my new novel give us a bold new look at ourselves by uncovering bits and pieces of our own humanity in each of them. I am hoping that you will enjoy and share the enthusiasm for this fresh look at the south. This book is now available. Click here to purchase it from Amazon.com.

About The Book: The Holedigger cries out to be read by anyone who has ever had a taste of the hell that being poor, sick, lonely, depressed, tormented, abandoned and abused brings to human existence. Witness growing up with "the boys" hanging out at a country store, as they learn to get mad, get even, and get over it to survive and move on about the business of living, loving and dying. They let you see what life is like for those who have far greater enemies to fight than those we met in all of our wars. |
The holedigger, Rayford Franklin, personifies evil all his life as he digs wells and graves while victimizing generations of women around Woosterville, Georgia. Out of the incest and inbreeding comes a mix of characters who clearly reflect the complex sea of humanity in our real world. "The boys" and their heroes meet evil head on. They fight and cut their way through every danger to carve from a legacy of injustice and depravity a future with great promise and a ray of hope for all. They become as real as the story they tell.
