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.
