Flames and Fury Will Be A Bonfire Of Surprises
I am so grateful for the support my readers have shown for the first two books in the Valiente Series. Courage and Consequences and Tattoos and Temptations have been a blessing, and I am always interested and excited to read your thoughts and ideas about the characters and some of the storylines. I truly appreciate the feedback.
Courage and Consequences introduced you to Chente Jimenez and his personal journey for love and acceptance. Readers get to see Chente navigate his way past his personal insecurities and cyberbullying to boldly embrace his true self. Readers also get a glimpse of the Jimenez family dynamics and Chente’s fun and fiercely loyal high school friends.
Tattoos and Temptations take the readers and Chente outside of the Avalon city limits to the mountains of New Mexico for a little taste of the supernatural and a hint of danger. An ESPN reporter arrives at Avalon High School to shoot a documentary on homophobia in the locker room, placing the spotlight back onto Chente and making him a target for a hate group.
I believe the first two books do a good job of interlinking the main storylines and laying the foundation for the final book of Part One of the Valiente Series. Gradually, the Jimenez siblings recognize the power of unity, Coach Doss reflects on married life, and Chente inadvertently becomes a fearless beacon for love and acceptance.
Flames and Fury will be released later this month, and I am excited about the culmination of many of the storylines. I think the readers will appreciate the different surprises throughout the book and the final pay-off will be mind-blowing. Flames and Fury will be laced with unbridled romance, fiery danger, and dauntless courage. Here is a peak…
- Coach Doss finds his voice, but is it too late?
- Chente receives a gift from Ela to protect him from The Angel of Death.
- The Jimenez home is invaded and vandalized by a mysterious group of men.
- Chente sends the hooded men a bold and fiery message.
- A graduation party at the Hamilton Barn is full of surprises and burning crosses.
- A sniper takes his aim and blood is spilled.
- Chente gets advice from his dad.
- He loves me, he loves me not.
- Mrs. Jimenez has a family secret.
Flames and Fury will be available for purchase through Archway Publishing, Amazon, and my personal website, agcastillo.com. Thank you for your continued support. #Team Chente








Can’t wait til Book 3 is out! I’m ready to flip those pages!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I cant wait for this book! These books belong in big chain bookstores like BARNES AND NOBLE! Why arent they? ANYWAY…….. Mrs Jimenez is all about UNITY….very common among latino families! Chente gets advice from his dad?…cant wait for that!!!!! I encourage everyone to read these books!!!!!!!!
Some may think that ALL the action happens in the big cities and that small towns don’t really have much to share or teach, but the Valiente Series is full of fireworks and confetti and secrets and charm. My recommendation is that the series be considered for the movie screen. The author paints scenes with his writing. I see the movie as I read through the pages. Small Town America will be able to identify and Big City Dwellers may be surprised and charmed.
Hats off to Mr. A.G. Castillo, for injecting an anticipation in the reader’s soul. What will happen next?
We will soon find out …the countdown has begun for book 3… coming SEPTEMBER 16. Another page-turner.
