Finally, it’s RELEASE WEEK for The Rumble and the Glory! I’m jumping up and down excited about it too! I love so many things about this new world, and these new characters, and all these new twisted problems I’ve dreamed up for them. This is book one of MANY.
I refuse to say how many books I will write in this series.
Not because I’m being difficult but because I think I might keep writing in this series forever. It’s a very big world and I’ve hardly scratched the surface yet. I’ve always hated that trilogies are the ‘norm’ is book writing. Of course, there are lots of authors out there who write never-ending series. Me included if you count The Company.
It’s just, we get a lot of pushback from readers if we keep going like that. They just start bitching and moaning about “how we just want readers to spend more money”. If you’re reading this you’re probably one of my long-time fans and that certainly doesn’t apply to you because most of you beg me to keep going. Every week I get comments about random secondary characters that I said I would write a story for… and they just got left behind because readers wanted the new shiny stuff more.
But this time, I’m sticking to my guns. I’m not going to end it. Sacred Trinity will stay open forever. It’s just a great world and I have so many ideas, I want to keep it going.
Now – that doesn’t mean I will only write this series and nothing else. I’ve got way too many ideas to stick to one series, no matter how big the world is. And I probably won’t rapid-release future books inside a trilogy. I picture future books all being standalones. And I think I will put out 1 or 2 a year.
So yeah, that’s the plan for these people and these towns.
A long, twisted, never-ending story.
I hope you enjoy The Rumble and the Glory. I hope you fall in love with these small West Virginia towns, and I hope that Collin, Lowyn. Amon, Rosie, Clover, and Riggs will weasel their way into your hearts the same way that Rook, Ronin, Ford, Ashleigh, Spencer, and Veronica did.
Thank you for reading, thank you for reviewing, and BOOK TWO, THE ECHO ON THE WATER, RELEASES JULY 25! AND IF YOU WANT TO READ IT RIGHT NOW YOU CAN JOIN MY PATREON AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT!
Collin Creed is a killer. But he’s Lowyn’s killer. And after a twelve-year separation, she wants him back.
Deep in the hills of West Virginia, three small towns have found a way to flourish in the face of extreme poverty. Disciple runs a side-show tent revival that brings in millions of dollars a year. Bishop flaunts traditional ways in the vein of Colonial Williamsburg, luring weary city people to the slow-living lifestyle. And Revenant offers them an experience of sin filled with tattooed bikers and live-music dive bars.
It’s a sacred trinity that worships the almighty dollar and everyone plays their role like a well-trained Broadway actor.
But these hills have secrets, and so do the people.
Twelve years ago, when he was just eighteen and dreaming of a future with his high school sweetheart, Collin Creed learned something about himself. Something so disturbing he left Disciple to join the Marines and didn’t once look back. But all that came to a screeching halt with the congressional hearings, forcing Collin to return home and rebuild his black-ops empire brick by brick.
Lowyn McBride’s heart broke when Collin shut her out and left town without an explanation just as they were getting ready to start their adult lives together. The death of her mother the following year was a make-or-break moment and Lowyn rose to the occasion, giving up her university education to parent her younger sister while building an empire of her own as a specialty antiques dealer.
Anger and desire, guilt and shame—the return of the enigmatic Collin Creed ignites the town and sparks an explosion of emotions inside Lowyn. But he’s not the only one with a secret in his past. Lowyn has always played the good girl to Collin’s bad-boy reputation. But it turns out—she’s just like everyone else up in these hills—not as wholesome and pure as she looks.
The Rumble and the Glory is a cinematic and spicy small-town secret, second-chance romance wrapped up in a cloak of mystery and suspense. It honors the themes of found family, redemptive anti-hero, and is filled with bigger-than-life, morally-grey characters against a backdrop of deceit and deception.
