The Hills Have Finally Stirred

Now that The Hills Begin to Stir is officially out in the world, I’ve been thinking about how far this series has come since the first Echoes at Black Ridge. Every book has widened the lens, but this one feels like the moment the land itself steps forward and becomes a character.

Readers have already reached out about the shifting hills, the journal entries, and the way the Old Ones move from rumor into presence. That’s the part I love most — seeing how the pieces planted in earlier books finally resonate.

If you’ve been following the series from the beginning, this book is where the quiet becomes motion. If you’re new, this is a perfect place to feel the world waking up.
