The New Project

Well, it’s been a while for the ole blog! But I promise to keep y’all updated on the latest project over the summer. I recently signed a deal with the great folks at Grove-Atlantic for two new Porter Hayes novels and a standalone project. First up, is the second adventure for Porter Hayes. Technically not a sequel as this story takes place twenty years before the events of Don’t Let the Devil Ride

Quotes by Ace Atkins (?)

“The first thing you want to do after being shot is make sure you are not shot again.”
― Ace Atkins

“For all his apologies, the convict Esau Davis was just a low-level toilet scrubber without the sense that God gave a goat. If she could get to a pistol or a shotgun or a hammer or a screwdriver, Caddy Colson would go all redneck on his ass and tear him a new asshole. That’s the way she was feeling, sitting there in the front seat of his shitty old truck, muffler rattling loose and wild, while he took Kleenex to his bleeding eye and talked about old times with Jamey Dixon like he thought they could still be friends after all this shit went down.”
