Night Shift, Waffle House: Stories from the American Back Roads (The American Collection Book 2)

Night Shift, Waffle House delivers a gripping collection of short fiction where every story drops you into a moment that matters—and doesn’t let go. These are stories of small towns, long nights, and the people trying to get through both. Worn-down deputies. Stubborn ranchers. Struggling families. Unlucky drifters. Ordinary lives, one step away from changing. Some stories are sharp and funny. Others hit harder.From the dark humor of “Breakfast for a Burglar” and “One Riot, Lightly Used,” to the quiet weight of “The County Line” and “Last Bus to Amarillo,” this collection moves through crime, family, and rural life across America—where a missing gun, a late-night diner, or a simple favor can tip everything in a different direction. The writing is lean. The dialogue cuts clean. The choices feel real.Perfect for fans of Craig Johnson, C. J. Box, and Elmore Leonard, Night Shift, Waffle House is built for readers who like their stories honest, grounded, and hard to forget. Read more
