Hi, I’m Van Newell, welcome to my tiny piece of the internet. I’m the author of His Eye Is On The Sparrow, a story collection that will be published in fall 2027. I’ve also written about everything from proms to raccoon dishes, and even “citizen” media scrums at a shopping mall. My newest project, 22 Edens in 59 Kingdoms, is a travel memoir about visiting every state park in Alabama after they were threatened with permanent closure.

Please say hi, I’d love to meet you. Gmail: vannewell1
