Mill Haven
In a town that confuses reputation with righteousness, Sarah Grace Montgomery’s fall from grace begins with a knock on the door. A scandal tears through Mill Haven, exposing not just the fragility of privilege, but the quiet cruelty beneath it. As she loses her place atop Southern society, Sarah Grace must navigate shame, exile, and unexpected redemption—guided not by status, but by a barking rescue dog and a stranger on a grief forum.
Mill Haven is a lyrical, character-driven novel for readers of Marilynne Robinson, Elizabeth Strout, and Jesmyn Ward—those who understand that judgment is easy, but compassion is harder.
Read Mill Haven ExcerptThe Blacktop Chronicles
A poetic, raw, and unfiltered portrait of American life from the cab of a long-haul truck, The Blacktop Chronicles explores loneliness, masculinity, memory, and the strange salvation found on the road. With echoes of Denis Johnson and James Lee Burke, this work blends autofiction, essay, and slice-of-life storytelling into a rolling meditation on being American by subtraction.

Mike Singleton’s other writings span themes of dislocation, moral ambiguity, class fracture, and memory’s long half-life. His style has been compared to Faulkner, Conroy, and Cormac McCarthy—but always with a voice unmistakably his own.
