Introducing: The Sinclairs of New Orleans
What's Next for Author T.L. Martin
Happy Fourth of July weekend, everyone. Wishing you and your families safety, joy, and peace.
Though, if I’m being honest, this year doesn’t exactly feel like freedom. The climate in our country right now makes that word feel complicated. Still, I’m grateful for you, for community, and for the power of storytelling that connects us even in hard times.
While all of you are vacationing, spending time with family and friends (hopefully reading The 7-Day Hitch by T.L. Martin in your spare time), I wanted to give you an update on what’s going on in the world of T.L. Martin, what’s coming next and where I’ll be this month!

4. New Series Alert: The Sinclairs of New Orleans Coming This Fall
So many of you have read the 7-Day Hitch and fallen for Charlie’s family, and I heard you!
This fall, I’m taking you to Belle Chanson—a place where charm drips from the balconies, secrets sleep behind stained-glass windows, and the Sinclair name is both gospel and threat.
They built this city, block by block. Their money paved the roads, their hands raised the monuments, and their name? It’s etched into every whispered deal and velvet-lined promise. But power attracts enemies, so naturally, someone wants to burn it all down.
It starts with a body. A corporate spy found dead, left with more questions than answers. Was it a warning? A message? Or the first crack in the foundation the Sinclairs built their empire on?
You’ll step inside this sultry Southern world through the eyes of its people—the Sinclairs themselves, their allies, their rivals, and the ones caught in between. Everyone has something to hide. And no one is safe.
Welcome to Belle Chanson.
Where loyalty is currency, love is leverage, and someone always pays for the truth.
You GUYS!! I’m so excited because there is still even MORE coming! But I will save it for another day.
But, Let’s talk:
💬 What are you most looking forward to from T.L. Martin?
💬 What do you think will happen next between Max and Eli?
Comment below. I love hearing from you!
With love,
T.L. Martin
Ohhh, I’m looking forward to the expansion of the Sinclair’s stories!
