Next book is THE BOATMAN'S DAUGHTER, releasing in February. You can pre-order it now on Amazon or at your favorite indie bookseller, and I believe it's listed on Goodreads, too. Also, I'm hard at work on a third. If you can't find much by me, it's probably because it just isn't there. I spent a good bit of time after graduate school teaching and just not writing. But no more! As long as people keep reading em, I'll keep writing em. :) Thanks for the kind words about the first book! (less)

No, I've never lived in Texas, but I spent time there when I was a kid. Mostly, though, I just did my research. I was lucky enough, too, to be able to travel there while working on the novel. Thanks!(less)

Quotes by Andy Davidson  (?)

“It’s a hard thing on a man,” Calhoun offered, “to watch his dreams wither on the vine.” “A man’s dreams are hard on a woman, too, Mr. Calhoun.”
Andy Davidson, In the Valley of the Sun

“The girl sang with the voice of a child, but it was not hers. It was a rough voice, harsh with grief, and the words she sang were in Baba’s deep, guttural tongue, and the song she sang was long and terrible in its warp and weft, as if torn out of the peat-smelling earth itself.”
Andy Davidson, The Boatman's Daughter

“She saw an older wound near his groin and palpated it and saw into the slit where layers of pink tissue should have been, but there was only an ashen sheaf of meat, like the pages of a book half-burned.”
Andy Davidson, In the Valley of the Sun
