Tie Goes to the Runner
Paperback, Amazon.com Paperback, Amazon.ca Ebook, Amazon.com Ebook, Amazon.ca
A close game, and a rule that seems to work one way. Two voices on a ball field ask what you could see from the third-base box, and what you assumed from a score that felt like a pattern.
Except, Was He Unwilling or Not
Paperback, Amazon.com Paperback, Amazon.ca Ebook, Amazon.com Ebook, Amazon.ca
From the outside, a man who can’t and a man who won’t look identical for as long as you are only watching the outside. This book doesn’t decide whether he was unwilling. It asks the only question you can ask from outside: what could you see, and what did you assume from how long he stood there?
What Was It Called Before
Paperback, Amazon.com Paperback, Amazon.ca Ebook, Amazon.com Ebook, Amazon.ca
This book doesn’t take the word away. It asks what was already happening before anyone had a name for it. Two voices sit under a tree and keep questioning, watching a leaf take longer than a stone to fall, and noticing how quickly a name can stand in for looking.
Why Was I Doing It
He built the whole house in ten months, and now the work that once got him out of bed has gone quiet. An unfinished kitchen, a winter of talking it through, and one question he can’t answer yet: is he lazy, or tired? This book doesn’t hand down the verdict. It sits with him and looks.
