Wow!  I wrote my first book, Stories from the Creekbank, in 2000. Not only is it still in print, but it’s a steady seller.

We’ve been blessed in this. …

But I’m called to write and at this season of life, I’m called to write novels about Pineywoods Louisiana that tell a good story with memorable characters whom you can root for and …

A word from Curt. Team. Tribe. Unit. They’ve always been some of my favorite words.

I’m so thankful for readers and friends who allow me to write and publish independently.  Although I’ve yet to receive a “traditional contract” from a large publishing house, I’ve been privileged to write twelve books that have sold thousands of copies and touched so many folks.  I am grateful to God for this. This video is how I feel about …

  Yesterday we shared Chapter 15 from our novel, A Good Place. This part of the novel continues with Chapter 16. Enjoy!   Chapter 16 I THOUGHT about picking Bo up to tote home, but any attempt to move him brought a terrible whimpering, and anyway, he weighed too much for me to carry that far.
