What's New and On the Way in Our Little Publishing Realm?

Five years following the explosive climax of The Burden of Evil Times—Book 1 in the Scott Herring series—Scott begins a new assignment in Citrus Hills, a small village in north Florida. From day one, he is confronted with the evils of the farm labor system and an entrenched criminal enterprise hidden under its surface. As in the past, he must again decide whether to look the other way.

At the center of the Citrus Hills community is Colonel Jedediah Beckham, a man whose outsized influence reaches to the halls of state-wide power, and the sources of whose wealth are carefully hidden. When Scott uncovers the truth about the Colonel, he places himself and all whom he loves in grave danger.

As conflict with the Colonel escalates, another threat sets its sights on Citrus Hills—a deadly and strengthening Atlantic hurricane. The convergence of these dual threats compels Scott to risk all to safeguard his flock and the migrant community.

Though set in 1983, To the Roaring Storm raises contemporary issues of the evils of the immigrant farm labor system and the unbridled power of wealth.

Book 2 in the Scott Herring Series will be released late in 2025. Pick up a copy of Book 1, The Burden of Evil Times, so you're ready for Book 2!
