Let me set the scene: It’s a sleepy Texas town, population small-enough-to-know-your-business. A retired military chaplain named Jake Prescott just rolled into town looking for a fresh start. He’s got peace, quiet, and retirement on his mind.
…And then someone robs the local gas station.
At gunpoint.
On camera.
And wouldn’t you know it—the guy looks exactly like Jake.
Welcome to Try Try Again, the newest twist-filled thriller from Elsie Varn Harrell—and guess what? You can now pre-order an autographed copy just in time for her birthday release on June 23rd! 🎁📚

That’s right, while some people ask for cake or spa days for their birthday, Elsie’s bringing you the gift: a fast-paced, small-town mystery that will leave your head spinning and your heart pounding. (We recommend snacks and a quiet room—you’re not going to want to put this one down.)
What to Expect in Try Try Again
A wrongly accused hero.
A crime spree that smells like revenge.
An FBI agent with a tech degree and unfinished business.
A killer known as the “Holy Hitman.” 😱
