Buck Dodds authors fun stories with grit and heart. Some are playful, some rough around the edges, but all are rooted in lived experience and the urge to tell a good story.
Having spent the vast majority of his life in Montana where he was born and raised, Buck Dodds enriches his voice with the Montana accent some describe as ”simple-speak,” and informs his deep POV literary style with a trove of lived experience. His novels showcase quirky inventions, and layered, diverse characters.
NEW RELEASE: Scheduled for 2027
MANILA DINGO: Frank wants Alonzo for murder, and Alonzo wants Frank’s money while Angelica tries to navigate the bias. This is a story of immigrant family dynamics and preconceived notions about economic disparity among the wealthy. It’s rife with death, crime, injury and big money deals driven by a secret invention, the “D157.” SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE
MAESTRO RAVEN: Frank and Sophia set out on a treasure hunt that quickly escalates into solving the crime of the century. Maestro Raven by Buck Dodds encapsulates the Montana experience that is decidedly not “Cowboy Chic,” with powerful social implications. (Book two of the Dingo series, in progress.)
VOLUTED: Autistic Joseph presents an honest explanation of his training, his betrothel to a precocious Mary, and how Jesus came to be the Christ. It is Buck’s first novel and it addresses the physiology, and sociology of a singularity event in Jewish history; the virgin birth. Its speculative historical fiction, and not a genre Buck wants to be known for.(Audio book only. Free MP3 download by request only TFN)
