Every person leaves a legacy; so does every character. Lonely outcasts. Found wanderers. Recovering addicts. War-weary heroes. Homeless families. Grieving loved ones. Good men-gone too soon. Each one's story stands alone, yet all unite along a common thread of dreams pursued and legacy left in this collection of short stories. One life flows into another as each character connects to the next. A person's past can deepen their future and their influence on others. In the words of Pete to Jack, "You'll have people enter your life that'll be more of a support than you might think. Some are there for a few minutes; others, decades. Each has a reason for meeting you when they do. Look for those reasons and thank God for 'em." Revisit beloved characters from Any Good Thing and This Good Thing and descry their legacies of faith, heroism, healing, tenacity and sacrifice. These twelve realistic, hope-filled tales celebrate humans and the connections they share and gifts they leave.
Carolina Burns faces words no one wants to hear. She's dying. She fights for her final year on earth-until she chooses to simply live. Through it all, the Burns family uncovers how to embrace this good thing-life.
The writer's life is solitary ... only if you want it to be. Writing critique partnerships could solve creative isolation, but confusion on the topic abounds.

Witness a young man's battles of mind, heart and soul and follow his coming-of-age journey from selfishness to true sacrifice and from recklessness toward redemption in this contemporary southern fiction novel meant to reside on your heart's bookshelves.Jack Calhoun recovers from one tragedy and its consequential addiction enough to glimpse a shimmer of hope for his future-until the day of the second accident. Instead of heading to college with his childhood sweetheart, Rachael, Jack flees the rural southern town that blames him for every bad thing and leaves his loved ones behind.His journey for purpose, if not peace, brings Jack face-to-face with war in Iraq's desert, with his past's nightmares and with a deeper battle on a mountain peak. Along the way, he both finds and loses parts of himself.Perhaps it was never purpose he required but the ability to discern selfishness from sacrifice. Will he cast off a lifetime of crippling guilt to rest in redemption, or will peace remain as elusive as any good thing for Jack?This book lends itself to a lively book club discussion or shared read between couples and friends. While readers who remember 9-11 will have an instant bond with the story, anyone who enjoys a well-paced tale full of larger-than-life characters-with a dash of southern charm and a whole batch of tasty food-may just discover a new favorite book in Any Good Thing.
