Norton Road

by Carl Purdon

Overview

It used to be the dust and noise.

The workers coming and going like ants to a picnic.

Now it's personal.

Everyone calls him Pap for reasons he can't remember. The people who matter are all gone now. His only neighbor is the factory. The beast that manufactures furniture and dust. So much dust. Dust that covered his wife as she lay dying and everything since. It covers his house inside and out, and his front porch swing. The grass and trees for as far as the eye can see. It even covers Rosemary.

He talks to Rosemary. People say he's eccentric. Or outright crazy.

He hasn't broken the law that anyone can prove, but he's bruised it and left it with whelps. That's about to change though. The stakes are about to be raised. The powerful Davis Khane is tired of flat tires on his trucks and nails in his parking lot. He's tired of the broken machines. He's tired of the man everyone calls Pap and he means to set him straight.

Instead he sets him off.

You'll love Norton Road because everyone loves an underdog. Especially one who's a little off his nut.

Get it now.

About the Author

The voices spoke early to the young boy growing up in 1960s and 70s Mississippi. As soon as his education permitted, he began to write down some of what those voices told him and entertained his family with boyish poetry. As he grew into his teens the voices spoke of darker things, so he stopped sharing, and soon abandoned writing altogether.

The voices didn't stop.

Around the age of forty, Carl began writing his first Novel, The Night Train, and published it in 2012. The Reconstruction Of Walter Pigg is his seventh novel, and picks up where The Deconstruction Of Walter Pigg left off.

Carl lives in Pontotoc, Mississippi with his wife, Sharon, and two of their four children. He still listens to the voices.
