A Man with No Alibi

In an age of unprecedented technological upheaval and moral turmoil, a young man sets out in search of those elusive eternal truths which transcend all times and spaces. From the outset, his perilous journey is beset with unexpected obstacles and colorful adventures.

Along the way he is often distracted by the full range of human experience — love and lust, wealth and poverty, politics and power, fame and failure. But through it all, he stubbornly persists in his mission.

Set in the contemporary, pre-apocalyptic America of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, it is at once an acerbic commentary on modern society and an intensely personal story of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.

Novelist · Technical Writer · Deer Feeder

Duncan Burch was born in Houston, Texas, where he grew up in his family's ditch-adjacent home in the suburban neighborhood of Briar Meadow. He attended The Kinkaid School and later received a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Rollins College — a degree he has always suspected was awarded due to some type of processing error.

After drifting aimlessly around the country and working at various jobs for many years, he eventually settled in Austin, Texas, where he stumbled into a mildly lucrative career as a technical writer. For at least 30 years he told people he was writing a book. Now, at long last, he has proof he wasn't lying.

He currently resides in Granite Shoals, a small town in the Texas Hill Country on the shore of Lake LBJ, where he works on his golf game and feeds his pet deer.
