PHOENIXVILLE RISING is only weeks away! My debut novel is set for release in October, 2013. The book will be available in trade paperback and ebook from amazon.com and other select retailers.
In PHOENIXVILLE RISING, a man looks back on the hometown he tried to escape and the friends he had back when they were young delinquents just beginning a descent into lives of crime.
The Furnace Boys ruled the abandoned mill after Phoenix Iron & Steel left town. They wasted time with petty crimes and hollow talk about one day getting out. But shoplifting Hershey bars from 7-11 and boosting car radios for spending money was child's play. When a new evil entered the picture, life in Phoenixville took a much darker turn.
Things seemed so much simpler back when the mill was just beginning. When the town was prosperous and the life of a Furnace Boy was spent tending the fires in the new foundry. But when Civil War arrived in Phoenixville, the lives of the original Furnace Boys--and those who loved them--would never be the same.
The beginning and the end of a steel mill, two civil wars, as told through two generations of Furnace Boys. PHOENIXVILLE RISING. No matter how far you run from yesterday, rebirth may be just an illusion.
