Writing has been part of my professional life for decades. Now I'm bringing that experience to longer-form projects of my own. This page will feature books and other original works currently in development, along with information about upcoming releases.
The Bell Tower Letters
A Novel by Jeff Blair
Novel in Development
A story of home, loss, and forgiveness, and the letters that waited more than twenty years to be found.
After more than twenty years away, 41-year-old Evan Carter returns to Maple Grove carrying unresolved memories of family, loss, and the life he left behind.
At St. Andrew's Church, he discovers letters and prayers hidden in the bell tower—including a letter from his late father. What he finds begins to challenge everything Evan believed about leaving home and forces him to confront grief, forgiveness, faith, and whether some places—and some relationships—are worth returning to.
Set against the intimate backdrop of a small town and the Christmas season, The Bell Tower Letters is a reflective story about family, estrangement, memory, reconciliation, and finding the courage to come home.
