Elliott Foster's Reckoning Waves Launches in St. Paul on April 3rd

     When St. Paul author Elliott Foster sat down to write his latest novel, Reckoning Waves, he had no idea how timely his story would be. The protagonist's carefully-crafted life situation is sudenly spinning wildly out of control. That’s exactly what’s happening to a lot of people right now. Between the War in Ukraine, and the aftermath of COVID, it seems everyone is on edge.

   Foster officially launched his latest book with a reading at North America’s largest LGBTQ book festival of the year. The Saints and Sinners Literary Festival took place in New Orleans, Louisiana the weekend of March 25 – 27, 2022. 

   His first local event in his hometown took place on April 3rd at Lake Monster Brewing in St. Paul, Minnesota. 
   Reckoning Waves is the sequel to Panic River. The story begins with protagonist Corey Flanagan reflecting upon how lucky he is to be living in sunny California and not a jail cell. Corey has been on the run and under the radar ever since that fateful day when he fired his father’s gun—a gun he wishes he had never held in his hands. 
   Since fleeing the Upper Midwest four years earlier, Corey has changed virtually everything in his life—where he lives, how he creates art, his routines for work and play, and even his last name. The only true constants are his best friend Billy, his mother Ginny, and frequent, troubling dreams about the shootings he ran from and for which Corey was never held to account. 
   Now living in California, Corey passionately paints landscapes in the style of Edward Hopper, while seeing his life and his surroundings more clearly and generating award-winning art. Another life change surprises Corey as well—an unexpected romance with a younger man, Miguel. Just as his new life takes shape, however, the past unexpectedly ensnares him.
