PRODIGAL is Southern Literary Review’s “Read of the Month”

Fireworks, fireflies, and gunfire light up Phyllis Gobbell’s exquisite, poignant novel Prodigal (Histria Fiction 2024). This modern retelling of the prodigal son is, above all, a story of love and forgiveness in a Southern family.”

Donna Meredith reviews Prodigal and interviews Phyllis Gobbell in February’s Southern Literary Review.

Christmas at the Museum

The Wayne County Museum is one of Waynesboro’s best-kept little secrets! I was happy to be invited there on December 7, the day of the annual Christmas parade, billed as a “Small Town Christmas.” Vendors set up booths and tents on the square – all very festive – and inside the museum, I talked about my new book, Prodigal. The novel is about a young man trying to come home to the small town he left ten years earlier, and face his past. Thanks to all who came buy to visit and buy books!
