The Munsonville Trilogy of Books

The small town of Munsonville has served as the heart of many of my stories. A place of dark history, full of bloody secrets, and dangerous people. It is a place of monsters, both human and otherwise. While the place has appeared many times, in many ways, the heart of this cursed small town is held in the following three books. This is the arc of a man named Tilling Diem, and his connection to the doom of Munsonville. The first two books, โ€œRoad Killโ€ and โ€œRoadKillersโ€ are a connected narrative about love, loss, cursed history, and revenge. The third book, โ€œIn Roots of Ash,โ€ is the story of the woods and the things that live there. Tillingโ€™s story wraps up in this book, though he is not a main character.ย
