My Debut Novel

Brighid Editions is pleased to announce the upcoming publication of St. Peter's Monsters, Neva Bryan's debut novel. Readers have praised Ms. Bryan for writing with an "evocative sense of place and a gentle style" and creating "delicately drawn" characters.

St. Peter's Monsters is the story of Peter Sullivan, a homesick college student teetering on the edge of alcoholism. He discovers bigger monsters than the bottle when a mysterious young woman enters his life. Wren has fled Peter's beloved Appalachian hills and now he must find out why she is keeping secrets about her past. As they turn to each other for comfort, they are linked together in a chain of love, tragedy, and murder . . . a chain that binds them when they find themselves back in the haunted shadows of the Virginia coalfields.
