Creekbank Stories Curt Iles, Storyteller
The Creek
March 2026 Newsletter
Two new audiobooks narrated by Curt Iles:
It’s the book that’s gripping readers by the heart.
One Night in Winterset is a book I’ve wanted to write for years.
It’s a great story, not because I wrote it. It’s memorable because it contains all the things that readers love: a Louisiana teen, Luther Perkins, cast adrift during the Great Depression.
During his years of wandering and facing adversity, he carries a photo that could be the answer to his longing for belonging and purpose.
Even when I read the stunning climax to groups, I become emotional. You can hear this in my voice as I narrate the Audible audiobook.
It’s fiction but feels real.
It’s a shorter novella, but it packs the punch of much longer books.
I wrote it as a YA (Young Adult) book, but it captivates readers of every age.
She held up the photo, waving it in my face.
“Just who are you, Son, and how’d you get this?”
I sat there, not quite knowing what to say.
One Night in Winterset is available on Amazon in paperback, Kindle ebook, and audio formats.
We’ll be highlighting the re-release of Uncle Sam: A Horse’s Tale in our April newsletter.
Uncle Sam is currently available in paperback, Kindle ebook, and as an Audible audiobook.
Parents and teachers are enjoying turning the pages as children listen to the author’s narration.
Uncle Sam shares about the connection between the Fort Polk Wild Horses and the U.S. First Cavalry during the 1941 Army maneuvers. It’s an illustrated children’s book that is chock-full of pictures and stories of the rich legacy, beauty, and history of western Louisiana’s No Man’s Land.

Pray for me that I’ll stay focused and have the grit to finish A Broken Cup: Notes From a Fellow Struggler this Spring. It’s a memoir of my lifetime struggle with depression. It’s been a spiritual struggle to finish this important book. Please pray!
Pray for my devotional book, “On Solid Ground,” that I’ll begin writing in June. May it glorify God, highlight scripture, and incorporate life stories. It’s especially written for readers who might normally shy away from devotionals.
It’ll be a big project, but one I’ve wanted to do for years. It’ll be a challenge, but I feel that now is the time. Our plan is to release it on November 1, 2026.
