Writing that finds the transcendent
in the quietly human.
Fiction rooted in tension and consequence. Nonfiction that traces the interior life. Stories that ask what it means to be fully present inside your own existence.
The Long Walk Back — Book One
The Quiet Theft of Attention
There is a sound the modern world makes. Not a scream, not a siren — just a low, ceaseless hum. A manufactured nearness. A tether disguised as connection.
This is the story of one man’s return to silence — the long walk back from the engineered urgency of the digital world to the slow, steady pulse of a life lived from the inside.

About the Author
Writing from
the other side
of a long silence.
Hamilton Alan Bird writes fiction shaped by tension and consequence, nonfiction concerned with the interior life, and children’s books under the name Maux Jaux.
He lives in Southern Colorado, where quiet has a way of telling the truth. He spent nine years incarcerated — an experience that changed how he listens, and how he understands the difference between captivity and freedom.
Gravity and Friction is his first work of nonfiction.
“I know captivity in two dialects — the clang and the whisper. The overt and the invisible. That’s why I recognized the digital version when it spoke in a softer voice.”— from the Preface to Gravity and Friction
