The Chamber’s Hymn has an official release date. April 5, 2021. I hope you are ready to meet Hunzi X. This is the first book in a new political series that I am launching. Although it is a political thriller series it is not bogged down with political talk. It mainly features political characters who can’t seem to get out of their own way. I’m really excited for people to read Book #1 in the Hunzi X Series.

The Pre-Order Link will be available soon

Warmest regards,
KT

No Debate. There Was Nothing Presidential About What I Watched Last Night. https://ktrellen.com/no-debate-there-was-nothing-presidential-about-what-i-watched-last-night/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=no-debate-there-was-nothing-presidential-about-what-i-watched-last-night Wed, 30 Sep 2020 14:53:33 +0000 http://ktrellen.com/?p=259 I was totally prepared to watch the first presidential debate last night. I expected to tune in and hear two grown people debate about how they would get our economy back on track, how they would deal with the pandemic, how they would make the Amercian people feel better.

I got none of that.

What I got instead was something that is hard for me to describe. There was bullying, name calling, over talking, rudeness, childlike behavior and the list goes on. It was embarrassing and left me feeling like we are really in trouble. I don’t care what side of the aisle you claim–I really don’t. What I saw last night was nothing more than a child trying to be heard and an old man trying to be heard. You can swap them out anyway you want. One struggled to make his point and one did an outstanding job in showing he has no point. Biden gets points for attempting to answer the questions from the moderator. Trump gets points for continuing to be exactly who he has always been. They howled at each other, snapped at each other, and claimed the other had no idea what they were talking about. But they didn’t actually debate anything.

There was no debate winner last night I don’t care what the polls show. The winner should have been the American people. We should have clearly seen someone who cared about what we want. How we feel. Biden may have come the closest to showing that but I have serious questions about him and his health. There were several times where he mumbled over his words;, forget what he was saying and repeated himself; lost his thought in the middle of his thought; and really made me ask if he is healthy enough to even handle the demanding job of being the President. Then there is Trump. I know who that man is, I know what that man stands for. He won’t let you not know because he tweets it enough, he says it enough, even when he isn’t asked the question. But what really stood out to me is the fact that when asked to directly denounce white supremacist, the President of the United States, said “Stand Back and Stand By”.

POTUS, the leader of the free world, said “Stand Back and Stand By”. As a black man, this didn’t come as a surprise to me, because I’ve always known that the President Trump does not care for black people, no matter how many times he says, “I’ve done more for black people than anyone except maybe George Washington”. But to hear him say “Stand back and Stand By” it confirmed that he truly does not care about me, my wife, my children, my friends, my community.

I turned off the debate as they were putting up the polls. I didn’t need to read them to know what they were going to say. I think they needed to add one more category.

Despicable.

I’m sure that number would have been higher than 69%.

Enough Already! Mystery Boxes Are Coming. https://ktrellen.com/enough-already-mystery-boxes-are-coming/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=enough-already-mystery-boxes-are-coming Mon, 28 Sep 2020 21:44:34 +0000 http://ktrellen.com/?p=123 As I think about all the books I plan to write, an idea hit me, that I thought would be a great way for me to offer things in-between book releases. The KTR Book Boxes are coming. Every month the team will curate a special box that will be spectacular. So spectacular that you are not going to want to miss it. Each month will be different, so you definitely don’t want to miss out when they start dropping. It will always include an autographed copy of the latest book.

In addition to an autographed copy, we’ll be sending you some custom made treats. It could be anything. It could be book related to a new release, it could be something just created from my mind. You will have to stay tuned to find out when the first box is going to be available.

We’ll also be teaming with several author friends so they can throw some things in the box, and we may slip a few items from some companies that we have relationships with.

STAY TUNED!

A Hunzi X Prequel

Ta DA!! What do you think of the cover for the first Hunzi X , THE CHAMBER’S HYMN, which will be available as a free download April 5, 2021. What do you think this book will be about? When I see this cover I want to run to the nearest courthouse and see what’s going on. I hope it makes you want to do the same.

Update https://ktrellen.com/update/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=update Tue, 22 Sep 2020 23:25:00 +0000 http://ktrellen.com/?p=137 I have officially finished writing what will be the prequel for the Hunzi X Series. It took me a little longer than I thought it would to write this story. I really had to take some time and think about the background of the main character. There were some things that I added, but then I decided I would drop those things piece by piece so I had to go back and delete certain things. I want you the reader to get to know the character through each book release.

In the meantime I am going to put this manuscript to the side for a few days so I can reset and then pick it back up with some fresh eyes before I turn it in to the editor.

I can’t wait for you guys to read this prequel. I hope everyone is taking care and staying safe.
