Song of the Lonesome Cowboy is slated for a February release! Edits are completed. The cover art is in the works. I have to say, I’ve worked harder on this novel than any other I’ve done. Capturing Tucker’s unique blend of sweetness and darkness, hinting at everything he can’t bring himself to see while telling the story solely from his point of view… it’s been one of my greatest challenges. But, because of that, I’m even more proud of the finished product and am overwhelmed with excitement to share it with you.
Blurb: Tucker Reynolds is a humble singer/songwriter both blessed and burdened by his success in the country music industry. Stalked by a predator from his past and struggling with guilt over his secret lust for his childhood best friend and guitarist, Magnusson ‘Mags’ Palmer, Tucker’s carefully crafted lies are his main means of self-defense, but they slowly begin to unravel. Kinky sex with prostitutes hastens a downward spiral that he searches to escape from. At the end of a successful tour, before heading home to Nashville, Tucker seeks solitude in order to come to terms with the guilt over things he has done to which he has never confessed. Only Tucker’s devoted, less-assuming band mate, Jess Grayville, suspects the truth about the nightmare Tucker is privately battling. Jess attempts to protect Tucker from those who would do him harm, even when the person putting him in the most danger isn’t reckless Mags, but Tucker, himself. Realizing that the best way out of the dark of his past and into the light of forgiveness is by finally admitting to the truth, Tucker strives to listen to his heart and write a song that he knows could save him.
