About Billy Coffey

Come to this part of the United States and you’ll be greeted with a smile, maybe a handshake. You’ll be asked where you’re from and how in the world you got here, who your kin are and, more often than not, where you go to church. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions.

Should you stay here long, chances are good you’ll end up on somebody’s front porch. Never, ever decline such an invitation. There will be a swing and a few old rockers, and what you’ll do is have a seat and accept with a gracious smile anything that happens to be offered – a glass of sweet tea, a slice of pie, a nip from a bottle. And after? Well friend, just sit back and listen. That’s likely when the stories will begin.

That’s where I begin as well.

Steal Away Home:

My ninth novel, Steal Away Home is available now.

Owen Cross grew up with two loves: one a game, the other a girl. One of those loves ruined him. Now he’s counting on the other to save him.

Baseball always came easy for Owen Cross. His innate talents were honed beneath the stiff hand of a father who wanted nothing more than for his son to succeed where he had failed. The girl was a little more complicated. Owen loved Micky Dullahan from the first time they met, on a lonely hill overlooking the depressed area where her troubled family had always lived. But she was from the wrong side of the tracks, and so that spot became their haven, the one place they could be together without worry of class or reputation.

Owen’s career progresses just as everyone expects: college, the minors, even a few stints in the big leagues. But it is on a major league field that he has the epiphany that he has always given everything to baseball—and yet it cannot love him back.

Micky’s advice comes back to haunt him. “You’ve got a second chance to love what will always love you back.” And so he returns home to that hill, to the last place he ever saw her, finally ready to stop running away.

A lot’s happened in my tiny lit­tle life over the past months, not the least of which is that  I’ve be­come in­ter­im pas­tor at the Bap­tist church here in town. Long sto­ry, and I do  plan to get to that here in this space, but I thought it best for now to share my ser­mon  from last Sun­day with a few mi­nor ed­its. Be­cause re­al­ly, we could all use a lit­tle perspec­tive today?  Yeah?   Yeah. Every­one ready for to­day? Every­one dread­ing to­day? Every­one just pray­ing … [Read More...]
