BRAMWELL VALLEY - A NOVEL BY JOHN HAROLD MCCOY
About the book:
Deep in the rugged mountains of southern West Virginia, nestled in the cradle of an idyllic little valley, the tiny town of Bramwell, and its colorful cast of lovable characters, hold an ancient secret.
Here, in this most unlikely of places, the women of Bramwell Valley cook, clean, shop, gossip, dream, fall in love – and guard the gates of Hell.
The tranquility of daily life in the valley is disrupted when Lucifer finds a way out of the depths. He simply quits his job as the devil, packs his bags, and heads for Florida.
Pandemonium erupts in the valley when, without the devil to keep things in check, various demons find their way out of Hell and wander into Bramwell.
A rather likeable Lucifer, decidedly un-evil demons, sorcery, romance and hilarity are the theme of this heart-warming very tall tale.
(Author's Note - Although Bramwell is a real town in southern West Virginia, the story I've written... may not be exactly true.)

About the author:
When I was 10, or so, I spent a few summers with my grand parents on their small farm just a few miles from Bramwell, West Virginia. In the town, across the street from what I remember as a big scary looking house made of stone, was a drug store. There were candy jars on the soda fountain counter and comic books on a whirling rack. The strawberry sodas from the fountain were the best in the world - I thought.
A few doors down the street from the drugstore was the Bramwell Theater - the only movie theater for many miles around.
That little town, in its little valley, was the inspiration for this book. I like to think the characters I've created truly haunt Bramwell Valley, or at least my hazy memory of it. They fit so well there.
