Hillbilly Hymn (2022)

"I admire Peter Biles's deft storytelling—a well-crafted, compelling, and credible voice, and bearing always a profound moral wisdom at the core."
-Scott Cairns, author of Slow Pilgrim: The Collected Poems

"Hillbilly Hymn is a joyous trip into a backwoods world many Americans would like to forget but which Peter Biles shows is very much alive. The novel presents an array of rustic characters that are treated with respect, empathy, and above all, great humor. Arnie's voice alone is worth the ride. A delightful book."
-Mark Walling, East Central University

Keep & Other Stories (2022)

"Peter Biles has made these lean, lively, surprising stories lithe enough to perform a challenging but necessary one-two move: They push back with wry, dark humor against late American tendencies to monetize, commodify, and falsify experience; yet they also stretch beyond satire to demand a tender attention to the easily missed yet priceless beauties of an examined life. In one protagonist's words, 'Sometimes God shows us remarkable ordinaries just so we'll look.' Biles does, too."
-Katy Carl, author of As Earth without Water

"Writing with the distillate wisdom of parables, the lyricism of poetry, and the roofless imagination of a born storyteller, Biles deftly weaves magic carpets that ferry us through the invisible currents of human longing, our abiding need for connection, love, and grace. Few writers craft stories of such assurance, magic, and wonder. Every story is a brilliant gem, a gift shining just for you."
-Gina Ochsner, author of The Hidden Letters of Velta B

"Peter Biles is a writer of extraordinary gifts, a young artist with an old soul that's insightful and wise. His stories speak quietly yet sing, rendering people and the worlds they inhabit fully and resonantly; compact and unassuming yet bursting with emotional truth, with the purest kind of reality."
-Robert Clark, author of Mr. White's Confession

Through the Eye of Old Man Kyle (2024)

"Peter Biles sends his readers on a journey into the Oklahoma wilderness, wrought with awe-inspiring beauty, yet fraught with danger. In his second novel, Through the Eye of Old Man Kyle, Biles writes with piercing clarity as his characters wrestle with faith and belonging, growing up, and learning what we all must learn as people of God: how to love God and our neighbor."
-Lisa Cooper, director of products and content, RevelationMedia

"Peter Biles is gradually establishing himself as one of the distinguished storytellers of our time. Read this book, and you'll understand why. It is filled with engaging descriptions, vivid characters, and a gripping narrative."
-Robin Phillips, author of Rediscovering the Goodness of Creation: A Manual for Recovering Gnostics
