"I screw things up sometimes."
These words introduce us to one of the most intriquing, puzzling, and ultimately endearing characters in contemporary fiction - Walter Brimm - the protagonist of WALTER FALLS.
Walter Brimm is a financial advisor in his mid-thirties, husband to Gee, a university professor, and father to a seven-year-old daughter, Rea. His life appears nearly perfect, but this proves an illusion as slowly his world unravels; his actions and reactions to specific events costing him his job, his family, and his health. In search of redemption, Walter's personal journey provides a gripping story of intimate longing and a fallen man's brave attempt to reconcile all that has caused him to sabotage his happiness while answering questions seeded deep in his past.
A provocative novel with a fresh voice, WALTER FALLS was selected as a finalist for the 2003 Book of the Year for Literary Fiction by ForeWord Magazine and also as a finalist in the Independent Publishers Association 2004 Book of the Year for General Fiction.
