The townsfolk of Rusty Knob, West Virginia,
see the Gillettes as ignorant wastes of space– worthless drunk sponges. As the
youngest, Wynn may be a Gillette, but he doesn’t act, nor think like one. At
only seventeen, he studies hard, plays basketball harder, and works the
hardest.
Wynn is numb to his core, no longer feeling
the hits that keep knocking him down to the ground. He’s unable to see the
bright future laid out before him. Royce Kennedy, a distant relative, tries all
he can do to save the youngest generation of Gillettes from the dark shroud of
bitter ignorance infecting them via their neglectful upbringing.
Wynn’s studying is to the backdrop of
drunken chaos, his relationship with friends and family are tainted by a narrow
world view, and his life is filled with more questions than answers. His every
dollar earned is bled dry come payday, only to have his parents piss it down
the toilet or blow caustic smoke to billow in the air.
A warped sense of loyalty forces Wynn to be
his family’s enabler, and he’s paying the ultimate price. With the support
system of Royce, the mentor of the school district’s LGBTQ online community,
and Wynn’s friends, they try to prove to Wynn he deserves anything he needs,
whether he earns it or not. Growing up in an ignorant wasteland, he never
learned love, friendship, and respect are unconditional, can never be
purchased, and should never be abused.
Wynn Gillette is at a crossroads. One thing’s
for sure, he cannot continue on this destructive path. Wynn has to end the only
life he’s ever known, breaking the bitter legacy passed down from one
generation to the next. One way or the other. Permanently.
Rusty Knob is an
M/M Coming of Age/New Adult Romance.

Coming August 25th
Erica Chilson does not write in the 3rd
person, wanting her readers to be her characters. Therefore,
writing a bio about herself, is uncomfortable in the extreme.
Born, raised, and here to stay, the Wicked
Writer is a stump-jumper, a ridge-runner. Hailing from North Central
Pennsylvania, directly on the New York State border; she loves the changes in
seasons, the humid air, all the mountainous forest, and the gloomy
atmosphere.
Introverted, but not socially awkward,
Erica prides herself on thinking first and filtering her speech. There are days
she doesn’t speak at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that she lives with her
parents, giving her a sense of reality, she would be a hermit, where the
delivery man finds her months after expiration.
Reading was an escape, a way to leave a
not-so pleasant reality behind. Reading lent Erica the courage she gathered
from the characters between the pages to long for a different life. Writing was
an instrument of change, evolving Erica into the woman she is today- a better,
more mature, more at peace thinker.
Erica has a wicked mind, one she pours out
into her creations. Her filter doesn’t allow all of it to erupt, much to her
relief. Sarcastic, with a very dark, perverse sense of humor, Erica puts a bit
of herself into every character she writes.
