The Neighborhood
In a quiet Long Island town, one boy’s awakening threatens to change everything.
J.J. Welles just wants life to make sense. But at sixteen, nothing does—certainly not the way his once-friendly neighborhood starts to crack when the first Black family moves in.
When the Thomases buy the house down the street, whispers turn to hostility, and J.J. finds himself caught between the prejudice of those he’s always trusted and the uneasy pull of his own conscience. Then a violent confrontation at school forces him into an unexpected friendship with Elly Thomas—the new girl no one wants to get to know.
As tensions rise, J.J. begins to see the world, and his town, for what they really are. The fences that once looked neat and safe now feel like walls. And when the community’s worst instincts come to the surface, he’ll have to decide what kind of person he wants to be.
The Neighborhood is a gripping, deeply human story about race, belonging, and moral courage in 1970s America. This is a powerful coming-of-age novel that asks: When the world around you turns against what’s right, will you stand with the crowd—or stand alone? Click Buy Now to start reading today.
Percival
Percival is a moving work of historical disability fiction inspired by true events—a story of music, love, and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
In 1928, two-year-old Percival Klein is struck by polio, leaving him with a lifelong disability. Growing up in poverty during some of America’s toughest years, he is expected to fade into obscurity. But Percival refuses to be defined by hardship. When he discovers jazz, he finds not just an escape, but a calling—his spirit taking flight through music.
This fiction about a 20th century American musician reveals both the prejudice and possibilities of the era. As Percival’s talent grows, so does his determination to succeed.
Along the way, he meets Helen, a woman who sees his brilliance where others see only limitation. Together they defy society’s expectations, building a life of dignity and devotion.
For readers seeking fiction about people with disabilities in America or fiction about people overcoming disabilities, Percival is a stirring exploration of courage, passion, and the healing power of art. It is also a rare glimpse into fiction about American jazz musicians—a heartfelt portrait of creativity born from struggle.
At once 20th century disability fiction and fiction about jazz musicians, Percival is a testament to the resilience of the human soul. This unforgettable journey, based on the life of the author’s father, will linger long after the final page.
