2025 Holiday Gift Guide for Thoughtful Readers (and a 20% discount)

The tree is up, the lights are twinkling, and every year a few friends and family members ask the same question: “What should I get the reader in my life who’s tired of the same best-sellers?”

This year, I have an embarrassingly simple answer: give them one (or all) of my novels. They’re the kind of books people actually finish, think about for weeks, and then press into someone else’s hands.

Here are the four, and a holiday bundle that saves you 20 %.

Nuff Sed : A Novel of Desert Steve. One man, one impossible desert, and the voice that keeps telling him to keep walking. Raw, funny, brutal, and finally hopeful. Perfect for: anyone who’s ever needed a second (or seventh) chance.
To and Fro Upon the Earth : A Novel . A wandering soul, a mysterious guide, and the thin line between exile and pilgrimage. Lyrical, unsettling, and quietly redemptive. Perfect for: the reader who loved The Alchemist or Marilynne Robinson.
Mortals As They Walk. Near-future bioengineering has made childhood death obsolete — except some parents are saying no. A slow-burn speculative novel about love, autonomy, and what it means to remain human. Perfect for: fans of Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go or Ted Chiang’s short stories.
Onesimus: A Novel of Christianity in the Roman Empire. A literate slave, a runaway, and a letter that changed everything. Historical fiction that reads like a thriller and leaves you asking what forgiveness actually costs. Perfect for: the history lover who also believes ideas still matter.
