G. Rench.
A dark-comedy thriller.
Seventeen years ago the town of Westhaven let a family burn on the hill and sang through it. Grant Rench is what's left of that family: the valley's furnace man, six foot four of him, with a key to every house in town and a bill seventeen Christmases overdue. The only person counting the way the town goes quiet is a twelve-year-old who notices what's missing, and she's about to break her own furnace just to get a look at him.

Who is T. Teller?
T. Teller lives in a mountain town in Arizona with his wife, his daughter, and an unreasonable number of half-finished hobbies. He grew up in a small Oklahoma town whose main export was wrestlers, which taught him everything he knows about grudges and how to hold them properly.
He has, at various times, made felt hats by hand, played guitar at people who did not request it, and painted things that did not ask to be painted. He automates paperwork for a living, which is why the villains in his books keep receipts. He watches horror movies the way other people check the weather.
G. Rench is his first novel. The town in it is not his town. Probably.
