Moss Henson is a writer, editor, and steady hand behind the curtain at waterleftfrog, Moss Henson works in short stories, novellas, and novels shaped by quiet tension and clear-eyed detail. His blog posts and longer works echo the voices of CD Wright, Mark Twain, Raymond Carver, Michael Ondaatje, Ray Bradbury, Richard Hugo, Zora Neale Hurston, Tennessee Williams, and Stephen King—writers who mix grit, grace, and a little strangeness.
With a focus on the written word as both craft and practice, Moss handles the behind-the-scenes work for waterleftfrog: maintaining the blog, managing projects, and keeping things moving. His tools are simple—books, pens, a typewriter when it feels right. He loves things in brown and black tones. His letters lean on the page like a steady ox.
Moss Henson’s The People We Know - Out Now
It’s a milestone day at Waterleftfrog Publications—Moss Henson has released his debut collection of short stories, The People We Know! For years, Moss has been a steady voice behind the scenes, shaping words and ideas with care. Now, he steps forward with a book that is entirely his own, and we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate this moment alongside him.
The People We Know explores identity, community, and the ways our personal stories connect to something larger. With sharp observation and lyrical writing, Moss creates characters and moments that linger well beyond the page. This is a book about memory, connection, and the shared human threads that bind us all together.
Early readers have already described the collection as honest, heartfelt, and full of life. Moss has a rare gift for balancing compassion with clear-eyed detail, and it shines through in every story. Starting today, The People We Know is available in both print and ebook formats. You can order your copy now on Amazon: The People We Know by Moss Henson
I am very excited to announce that the audiobook version of my book (Moss Henson), The People We Know, is now live on Audible. Click here for the Link. This was one of the final creative pushes Miles was working on before the year wrapped, and a lot of long days and late nights went into it. Miles and O1q put so much heart and production craft into every chapter, building something that lives and breathes a little differently than the printed page. Even if you’ve already read the book, I truly encourage you to experience it again in audio form—it’s such an intimate way to live inside these stories.
