Checking my notes app the next day, I noticed that I’d written something. “It’s two forty-five in the morning. I’m alone in my childhood home, and I’m a little scared.”I used to love storms. I still do, at least on an intellectual level.

In my novel, Holy City, Will Seems returns from living “in exile” in Richmond, to his family home in Southside, Virginia, to face the two great tragedies of his past which have laden him with a guilt that both drives and suffocates him. He is incapable of living in exile any longer, and yet home promises little relief. Furthermore, his time in Richmond makes him an outsider both in Richmond and in Southside, where people are suspicious of anyone with a foreign perspective.
