All is Set Anew
by Jim Cheney
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Thriller, Supernatural
Thriller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
A
fast-paced examination of loss, survival, and ultimately acceptance of those
things we do not understand but must contend with as if our lives depend upon
it.
From deep in the
rural Tennessee woods, two brothers flee their murderous father only to find
that a violent, supernatural force has followed their escape and will haunt
their family for multiple generations.
All Is Set Anew is
the story of abandonment and its subsequent revenge, set against a backdrop of
characters imprisoned by poverty and self-doubt and their struggle to outrun
the evil and illness that relentlessly pursues them.

EXCERPT:
That afternoon Mary found Edgar at the hog pens and she told
him that she wanted to speak with him after supper. She spent the rest of the
day packing suitcases for her husband and tidying things around the house. LoLo
moved about the rooms silently and Mary worried that her decision was poorly
chosen each time the woman’s eyes met hers. It was not a critical exchange of
glance, but the way that LoLo diverted her eyes too quickly gave Mary a sinking
sensation that made her want to ask her what she would do if the decision was
hers. Mary’s upbringing had been as pragmatic as it was cultured, so she looked
to facts when challenged. They had let a man like Hicks onto the place. Logic
told her that he had raped Katherine, although she could not prove it. Her
daughter Renee had left with him, although she could not prove that either.
Katherine was alive, and while traumatized, Mary believed that she could guide
her back to health. If it got out that Katherine had been raped by a man that
Renee had run off with, the impact to the family and its reputation would be
devastating. And when she imagined her husband’s reaction to any of this, she
felt as helpless as someone looking out over an arid field, begging the
merciless, baking sky for relief. Katherine will recover, she told herself. She
has enough of me in her that she’ll find her way through.

Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteHow did you come up with the idea for this book?
ReplyDeleteHey Kim. Thank you very much for asking. There is a scene in the novel, about halfway through, that takes place at a rest stop. I envisioned the early stages of the book from that scene and then went back and filled in all of the holes. I find that often fiction has a way of building itself in the subconscious and eventually the characters find a way to pick the lock and get out. Happy to discuss more if you would like. My email is jim@prufrockcommunications.com. Feel free to engage. PS: responding to this via phone, so pardon any errors in the typing.
