About
Hi! I'm Caden,
an author of literary and coming-of-age fiction from Columbus.
I write about complicated families — about memory, identity, and the quiet moments that end up shaping a person more than the loud ones do.
The work
My writing sits somewhere between emotional realism and dark humor. I'm interested in the tension between loving people and being hurt by them, and in the stories families tell themselves to make the past make sense.
I'm at work on my first novel, The Quiet Between Outbursts. It isn't finished yet — when it is, the newsletter will hear before anywhere else.
