(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) November 4, 2024 – The final chapter in the battle of good versus evil lying deep within the Northrend medieval fantasy world draws to a climatic, adventure-filled conclusion within the pages of Robert L. Rogler’s third and final novel in the Madea’s Fate Trilogy – “Shadows of Fate Book Three-Madea’s Fate.”
Published by Pedal Down Promotions of Manitowoc, Wis, Rogler’s fourth novel and capstone entry in the Madea’s Fate Trilogy wraps up the complex, intriguing and compelling family themes found in the series’ first two novels, “Heat of Light” and “Witches Valley,” while weaving together the various adventures of the action-packed three-book series.
“Although both heroes and villains from book one ‘Heart of Light’’ and book two ‘Witches Valley’ have come and gone, our main characters endure in the third novel as well,” Rogler said. “The villains who appeared in book two continue to plot and scheme in book three ‘Shadows of Fate’ as the storyline of the Madea’s Fate Trilogy concludes.”
With his daughter, Gabrielle, serving as the main inspiration for the story’s main character, Rogler wrote “Heart of Light Book One-Madea’s Fate” and now “Witch’s Valley Book Two-Madea’s Fate” with youthful readers in mind and, true to form, “Shadows of Fate” is no different.
Rogler is a retired Manitowoc Lincoln High School custodian who lives in School Hill, Wis., with his wife, Jennifer. His son, Logan, and daughter, Gabrielle, have each inspired characters in the Madea’s Fate Trilogy and his novel Rendered Soul, which was released in 2020.
“It’s been a wonderful experience writing all three novels in the trilogy,” he said. “I have to admit putting together a trilogy is a challenge, especially when it comes to choosing the direction of the story and considering the future of each character.”
Although “Shadows of Fate” marks the end of the Madea’s Fate Trilogy, Rogler says his career as an author is just getting started.
“After a short pause, I will continue to write with my direction pointing toward an illustrated children’s fantasy book,” Rogler said. “I would also like to expand on some of my characters from ‘Rendered Soul’ with a novel about Hucira and Torn, and where the Goddess Selorain may take them.”
The public launch of “Shadows of Fate Book three-Madea’s Fate” is set to take place at the third annual Lakeshore Book Show and Author Signing presented by Pedal Down Promotions on Saturday, Nov. 9 at Sabbatical Brewing Co. in Manitowoc, Wis. from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“I look forward to seeing many readers of the Madea’s Fate series at the Lakeshore Book Show and Author Signing on Saturday, November 9 at Sabbatical Brewing in Manitowoc, which will provide a terrific opportunity to purchase ‘Shadows of Fate’ and my other novels as well,” Rogler said. “Readers can also follow me on Facebook on the Heart of Light page.”
