Novels

Land Where My Fathers Died, Context Books; Spring, 2002; semi-finalist, Pirates Alley Faulkner Prizes for Fiction. Mississippi Library Association Best Fiction Award, 2002

". an amazing debut. It made me think of All the King's Men, Blood Meridan, even As I lay Dying. Joe Edd Morris's characters spring from the earth itself. This is a book you won't put down, a story you'll remember for many years to come. What a novel. What a writer."
