Gully Washer (Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen Book 5)

Grace and company face enough rain and turmoil to swallow Shady Grove whole.

As spring rains cause the swamps to rise, Shady Grove and its citizens decide that it might be best to shut off the town from the rest of the human world. Grace Ann Bryant, the Queen of the Exiles, and Levi Rearden, her bard, unsuccessfully attempt to protect the town with a huge ward. They need the songbook that Jeremiah Freyman took into the Otherworld, but do they risk the unknown to retrieve the book from the Summer Realm.

During the midst of this crisis, Grace’s nemesis, Stephanie Davis, returns to Shady Grove despite being banished with a shocking announcement. Following her arrival, a flood of new problems including a traitor in the fairy council plague Grace’s life. How will Grace handle the nastier parts of her duties as queen? Can she make the tough decisions even if it means sending her servants into the Otherworld or executing a traitor? Will her father’s power drain her has it had once before?

Dylan, Levi, and Grace tread water while trying to keep the town from sinking in Gully Washer, Book 5 of The Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen.

Interview with Kimbra Swain

Q: Why did you write the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen Series?

A: I was born and raised in Alabama, and I loved the Urban Fantasy genre. I wanted to mix those two things, but remain true to the Southern traditions and values that I was raised on: family, community, and determination. The Trailer Park Series is my ode to the South.

Q: What is the most important part of the Fairy Tales of a Trailer Park Queen to you?

A: Every single character in the series is real to me. The development of each one is so important for me going through the series. Some of them, including Grace, start off with many flaws. I should say especially Grace.

Q: How much of Grace is patterned after yourself?

A: Oh, gosh! Grace and I are a lot alike. Sassy and smart. However, Grace is very compassionate and trusting. She's also got a mouth on her. She says things that aren't PC, but as her character develops over the series, she sees that there were things she was very wrong about. Grace's story is about becoming who she was meant to be, and fate doesn't define that purpose. She does.

Q: What are your future plans for the Trailerverse?

A: The main series will have 15 books with a short story anthology focusing on the minor characters. I will be launching Wynonna's story this fall in Stories of Frost and Fire. The werewolf, Dominick Meyer, will also get his own series called Dog River Wolfpack. It will launch this fall, too. I have future undetermined plans to expand the Trailerverse.
