At Warble's Bar

The forthcoming novel by Galahad Porter

Meet Lucy at the bar!

Young and newly pregnant, Lucy is desperately seeking the father of her unborn child. In the hope that she will meet him, or someone who knows him, she take a job at Warble's Bar, in Brooklyn, NY, USA. She has a number of options for her future and would like to discuss with him what happens next. However, Lucy has no idea of the peril she is in and the diferent forces trying to influence her. The action is centerd in the bar over five working days. Lucy has to make a decisison: should she keep searching for him or move on with her life?

Lucy's dilemma was planned to be the opening scene of the thriller trilogy. It seemed unfair to gloss over her decision making process and get on with the next chapter in the trilogy. Previously I was unable to resist exploring the life of another trilogy character in more detail, the quirky hotel receptionist Sally. What started as a short story eventually emerged as the debut novel At Reception. That has delayed publication of the trilogy. Once again, another character has emerged with a story to tell that should be heard. The bar has several customers who appear in the trilogy. These early scenes set out the background for the first book in the series. Writing Lucy's story creates the opportunity to explain in more detail why certain characters behave the way they do. A prequel is planned to be published after the trilogy. That is intended to answer some of the underlying questions readers may still have on finishing the series. Nevertheless, telling Lucy's story enables readers to step into the world of the trilogy just days before it starts. Hopefully that will not just entertain, but arouse interest in the series!

The fictional bar is called Warble's Bar for more see www.warblesbar.com.

At Warble's Bar is planned for publication in late 2025.
