A Tranquility Tale – Read About the Preacher and His Family

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today, I’d like to apologize to you for being unplugged for a little while. Among other things, I was working on my new novel that will soon be released. It’s called  REBUKE and it is the first of quite a few tales that I have set in the sleepy town of Tranquility.
 
This story, about a preacher and his family, spans four decades and offers readers a look behind the veil. By that I mean, in this book I am giving readers a glimpse into the private lives of the quintessential neighborhood preacher and his family.

The Cohort Trilogy – What he did to keep his secret from being splashed all over...

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today, I’d like to continue discussing Iniquities  – Book III of The Cohort Trilogy.  I’ll tell you, I wanted to have a copy of the book before me while I spoke to you about it, but alas, I cannot. The truth is…I can’t keep enough copies of them in. They are going faster than I’d dreamed they would. I will however, have to tell you about this wonderful story anyway, from memory. 
 
Now readers met Beau, our gay male lead in the first book of the trilogy.

The Cohort Trilogy – Meet the Ex-Lover...

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Forgive me for not chatting with you on Thursday. Just know this…I try to get with you between Thursday and Friday.
 
So… (big sigh) today we are yet discussing Progression  – 
Book II of The Cohort Trilogy. I’ve already mentioned that in this book you get to meet people who are important to the three women and beautiful buff Beau, our main characters – The Cohorts. Among the newcomers that you’ll meet is a red-haired freckle-faced character who I will not name.

The Cohort Trilogy – introducing the mamas

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today we are yet discussing Progression  – Book II of The Cohort Trilogy. In this book I did something that I hadn’t done before. I brought in a mother figure. Sure, in the first book [Absolution] you heard about the mothers of different ones, but I didn’t allow you, the reader, to interact with them. I didn’t want to sidetrack you. I wanted you to focus wholly on The Cohorts, Beau and his women friends.
 
However, in  Progression  you get to meet the woman who raised our beautiful buff Beau.

The Cohort Trilogy, meet Ms. Vee Reenay…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I trust you all had a memorable holiday season.
 
Since we’re here and moving forward in this New Year that we’ve been blessed to see, let’s again jump right in. I believe I informed you, concerningThe Cohort Trilogy, thatBook IandBook IIwill be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content.
I like that! As the time nears I will remind you. Now back to us discussing  the characters inThe Cohort Trilogy-Book I,Absolution.
 
I told you a bit about Beau, our gay male lead, and I mentioned his mothering cousin, also in the book.

The Cohort Trilogy, let’s talk about Cousin…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I’m back. Let’s jump right in. I wanted to let you know concerningThe Cohort Trilogythat soonBook IandBook IIwill  be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content. I’m quite happy about that. As the time nears I will remind you.
 
Now back to what we were discussing last week – the characters inThe CohortTrilogy-Book I,Absolution. So I told you a bit about Beau, our gay male lead… therefore I want to mention his cousin, a woman who is also in the book.

The Cohort Trilogy, Beau in particular...

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I must apologize. I’ve been so busy! I wanted to get back to you and tell you a bit more aboutBook IinThe Cohort Trilogy, my super-fast-reading novelAbsolution. Well, here I am.
 
To pick up where we left off, inAbsolution, you get to meet Beau, one of the stars of the show, a buff beautiful gay male. Now he maylooklike he’s got it all together, but there are some other things going on, trust me. However, you’ll have to read the book to find out what those issues are.

Information on ‘The Cohort Trilogy’

 
Someone is always asking about my Cohort Trilogy, so I figured I’d tell you a bit about it each week.
 
First of all, the three books in the trilogy are calledAbsolution,Progression, andIniquities. However, let’s speak aboutAbsolution,Book 1for now.
 
In it a reader gets to meet four friends, three women and their gay male roommate Beau [Bo.] Beau and the ladies call themselves cohorts because often they find themselves in untoward situations,together --many of which you the reader will get to see firsthand or hear about through their telling.

Something I'm pondering...

Hi friends & fam,
 
Maybe you're wondering why there are new covers up for
bothAbsolutionandProgression,Books IandIIof
The Cohort Trilogy. Well, those are actually the covers
for thee-booksnow available onKindleandNook.
 
Pretty soon however, those will be the covers for the
paperbacks. You see, bothAbsolutionand
Progressionwill be re-released -- with new ISBN
numbers! Those will correspond with that ofIniquities,
Book IIIof the trilogy.
 
Although I find myself quite busy right now, with the

So yummy!

Hi readers, friends and fam,
 
I just wanted to let you know how excited I am to be able to finally offer youIniquities!
It'sBook IIIin myCohort Trilogy, and believe me, just like you loved the first two, you're going to feel that way about this one. I don't mean to sound cocky. You all know that's not my way. I'm just saying... I gave this book all I had.
 
I had help too. That I'm happy to report. My gay male friends were more than willing to give me their input. You know, to make the story real.
