"He left the Oxford, Mississippi, fire department after his first novel was published. It paid off." -Men's Journal
"He is blunt and abrasive about subjects that tend to cause flinching. He tells stories in plain language." --The New Yorker

PRAISE FOR FATHER AND SON
"A powerful tale of love and betrayal, family ties and brutal revenge." -The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"The model is Faulkner, but his influence has been absorbed and transcended." -The New York Times Book Review
"So vividly written it is almost cinematic." -The Orlando Sentinel
