I am thrilled to tell you that I have TWO new books being published this year by Calumet Editions.
Albert Park: a Memoir in Lies will be released early in 2025. Told through Albert Park’s singular—albeit entirely unreliable—point-of-view, Albert Park: a Memoir in Lies is a thrice-told story of how ghosts haunt the present. More info is coming about the book’s release and events.
I am thrilled to be sharing this tale with you. Early readers of the book have agreed this book will wow readers. I can’t wait for it to be out in the world.
“Koefod’s masterful tale is a portrait of our times: a modern picaresque novel that examines the nature of truth, lies and memory.”
— Carla Hagen, author, Hand Me Down My Walking Cane and Muskeg
Escapes: Short Stories will arrive later this spring or early summer. Escapes delves into the motivations of characters seeking to break free from their troubled pasts and present circumstances. The stories explore a range of themes, from the supernatural to the criminal.
The collection features two early stories about Arvo Thorson, a detective who later becomes the protagonist of my mystery novel series. Thorson’s early appearances showcase his sharp mind, unwavering determination, and personal demons. With its rich characterizations, suspenseful plots, and unexpected twists, Escapes is a captivating read for fans of short fiction and mystery alike. Each story leaves a lasting impression, making the reader eager for more.
