“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind“
Mahatma Gandhi
It feels strange to type this but after a few years of work my debut novel is finally happening.
The Least of These releases February 3, 2026, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with the readers of this blog and, hopefully, a wider audience. This story has lived in my head for awhile, and now it’s almost ready for you.
Here’s a first look:
After twenty-five years in prison, Alex Hollins returns to Pinehurst, Virginia, determined to rebuild his life. But Silas Weston, the town’s charismatic pastor with far darker intentions, sees Alex as a threat to the little empire he’s built.
What starts as quiet hostility spirals into something far more dangerous when a local child goes missing and Alex becomes the prime suspect.
Forced to run, Alex must uncover Silas’s secrets and clear his name before he’s dragged back to prison… or silenced for good.
Set in rural Virginia, The Least of These digs into trust, betrayal, redemption, and the uncomfortable truth that in small towns, the story people tell about you can be more powerful than the truth itself.
If you enjoy small-town mysteries, character-driven thrillers, and narratives where everybody has something to hide, this one’s for you.
