1. A Prayer Journal
An intimate collection of candid, spare prayers and reflections written during the author’s final years, quietly confronting illness, mortality, vocation, sin, and the need for grace. The entries mix ruthless self-examination, theological insight, dark humor, and a persistent longing for mercy, showing how creativity and faith are tested and refined in suffering. The result is a powerful, unadorned devotional portrait of a searching mind and spirit.

2. Cuentos Completos
Una colección de relatos intensos y de humor oscuro ambientados en el sur de Estados Unidos, que presenta personajes defectuosos y a menudo grotescos cuyas confrontaciones con la violencia, la revelación repentina y un anhelo espiritual provocan encuentros con la gracia, el juicio y la ambigüedad moral; la prosa, concisa y vívida, y los finales inquietantes iluminan temas de fe, hipocresía, cambio social y la fragilidad humana.
