Barbour Publishing Launches 13-Part Digital Serial Series
Uhrichsville, OH – Riding on the tails of the hugely successful Discovery Saga serial novel by Wanda E. Brunstetter, Barbour Publishing is setting its sights on the next big serial success. But this time, the focus will be on a digital-only debut.
Starting December 28, Barbour will be launching a brand-new direct to digital series entitled Hidden Falls from its new digital episode imprint, Shiloh Run Studios. The 13-episode series penned by award-winning author Olivia Newport will be available in e-book and audiobook formats. The serial series will read like a television series where each new title is considered an episode that ends with a cliffhanger that will leave readers wanting more. To kick-start Hidden Falls’ release, a nationwide social media campaign and giveaway aimed at generating buzz for the new digital series will run in association with each episode released in the series.
The first episode, Hidden Falls: Ordinary Secrets, will be free to all readers starting December 28. The new series introduces readers to the citizens of Hidden Falls and their thirty years of small-town secrets that build into a mystery that no one can solve alone. Episode 2, Hidden Falls: Losing Quinn, releases January 24, 2014, with the rest of the 13 episodes releasing every Friday. Readers can purchase the Hidden Falls digital series at all major e-book distributors, including Amazon, Apple, CBD, and Barnes & Noble.
About the Story
The small town of Hidden Falls is abuzz. Former students, friends, and loved ones are prepping for tonight’s big event to honor Ted Quinn’s many years of compassionate service.
Quinn is reluctant about a night in the spotlight—but is tenderly prodded by Sylvia, mayor of Hidden Falls and Quinn’s dearest friend and confidante.
Liam, a former student, and Jack, a town newcomer, are both hoping the night works toward their own gain—or, if they’ll admit it, their chance for redemption.
Ethan and Nicole won’t let the shadows of their pasts stop them from returning to Hidden Falls—but only for Quinn—no matter how much it hurts.
Like Quinn, Dani and Lauren are mainstays in Hidden Falls. They keep close to home and have secrets to keep close, too.
Now it’s time. The guests are seated, introductions are made, the spotlight shines on center stage, and the unthinkable leaves the entire town scrambling for the truth.
Olivia Newport’s novels twist through time to find where faith and passions meet. Her husband and two twentysomething children provide welcome distraction from the people stomping through her head on their way into her books. She chases joy in stunning Colorado at the foot of the Rockies, where daylilies grow as tall as she is. Learn more about Olivia at www.olivianewport.com.

This is great news for Olivia and the industry.
I’m a great believer in serialisation. With new technology, delivering episodes to readers on a regular basis is a great way of building readership.
I’ll be watching Olivia’s situation with much interest. Congratulations Olivia and well done on breaking new ground for authors and readers.
