One missed putt. One broken name. One shot at redemption.

​

When young American golfer Sean O’Connor chokes in the biggest event of his life, the shame follows him across an ocean.

In the rain-soaked village, Sean wasn’t looking for anything. He’d only come for the funeral — to stand where family said he should stand, to shake the hands of strangers who claimed to know his name.

He expected silence, maybe the sound of rain on rock.

What he found instead was a burn — a thin stream cutting through the fields — and an old man who looked at him the way stone looks at weather: patient, unmoved, already knowing.

​

Tom teaches him what the land already knows — the hardest battles are the ones fought within.

To find peace, Sean must stop running from the man in the mirror.

Chasing the Burn is a novel about the unseen game — the one thought in your head long before the club ever moves. It’s about the time between shots, where patience and presence decide the score, and the quiet weight of a single choice that can change everything.

He crossed an ocean to escape the past. The land had other plans.
