Novel

June 10, 2026 / peterjstavros

I’m excited to reveal the cover of my new novel, THE REASONABLE PRUDENT MAN.

It’s the story of Christian Dismas, a young associate at a BigLaw firm, who gets caught up with a rogue partner and falls victim to his nefarious ways. This is part legal thriller and part morality play, and something I’ve been working on for a while. And I can’t wait to share it with the world!

You can read more about the plot HERE, and my publisher, Silent Clamor Press, has a cool webpage on it HERE.

It’s scheduled to be released on November 3. Pre-order links are expected soon, and I’ll post them once they come out.

In it, I discuss how my struggle with ulcerative colitis not only strengthened my resilience but sparked my creativity and gave me the confidence to get off my comma and pursue my passion for writing. Check it out at one of the links below!
