Meet. D.K.Barnett
D. K. Barnett writes of ghosts that wear human faces—men and women caught between belief and survival on the rough edges of American history.
A longtime resident of Texas, Barnett draws from the land itself: the drought, the river, the stubborn beauty of towns that never quite die. His work fuses history and myth into stories of moral consequence and hard grace.
He is the author of Irish Paladin, War Wolves, and The Granbury Trilogy (The Pioneers, The Builders, Every Day Citizens), a cycle of novels exploring faith, guilt, and endurance in the small town that shaped his imagination.
Barnett writes and publishes under his imprint, Brazos Bend Publishing, from his home in Granbury, Texas.
