Psychological thrillers and literary fiction, rooted in Texas.
R.E. Drye writes psychological thrillers and literary fiction set in the towns, small cities, and back roads of Texas — stories that run from the quiet devastation of family memory to the moral shadows of wartime Galveston, about ordinary people caught inside forces larger and darker than themselves.
His debut novel, Brought Into This World, is forthcoming from Running Wild Press. Mary Colvin gave up her son at sixteen and spent twenty years looking away. When a DNA match finds him — grown, charming, tending bar forty minutes down the interstate — she believes she has been given a second chance. She doesn’t know he found her first.
He is the author of Partly Cloudy, a novel about a family confronting dementia and the dramatic technological step they take against it; The Slayer Rule, a noir murder mystery set in 1943 Galveston; and The Invisible, stories of the people you pass every day and never see.
He lives in Round Rock, Texas, where he is almost certainly working on something new.
