Controversy

Controversy is Book Ten.

If that confuses you, then perhaps knowing that the characters in my various novels cross over into others helps that statement make sense. Is it necessary to have read all that before? No. Jump in. Hopefully you will find them enjoyable.

Read Chapter One

If, after diving in, you want to know more of Brad's friends, you can find all my books under my author's tab (Timothy Lane). Or, here are links:

[One] Extracurricular
[Two] If It Weren't For the Two of Us
[Three] Hi, I'm Lance
[Four] Ascension: Jakob's Ladder
[Five] Coffee at 9
[Six] Laramie
[Seven] Say Goodbye to Sparkleland
[Eight] A Bed, A Desk, and My Unfortunate Soulmate
[Nine] Heart and Soul

As usual, I try to give each book its own characteristic flair: Trent's journal, Lance's AA meetings, the Notre Dame dual narrative, etc. Controversy is named after Prince's album, and each chapter will be named after a Prince song. It's just something fun and quirky.

Brad had already been a secondary character in five books up to this point. I felt he deserved his own story, but I didn't know what it should be. I struggled for a bit. Someone once told authors that they should "Write what you know." Well, like Brad, I grew up a preacher's kid. (This novel is NOT my story.) I think there are things to tap into there.

Also, Corey and Aiden will be a framing device. This book begins as they are coming home from their freshman year at college. By the time it all concludes, they will have graduated. So that can help you keep up with the time. Brad references their college friend, Manny, and his weight. If you want to go back to that, it was Soulmate Chapter 8.

For my readers who have been with me the last five years, I apologize. When Book Nine wrapped up, I didn't expect it to be this long before I posted again. Life got in the way, and I didn't have the free time to write as I had hoped. My fingers are crossed that you will enjoy this ride. I've missed being a part of this community.
