What is a Quadrilogy?

Have you heard the term Quadrilogy before? If you know that quad means four, you can probably guess its meaning even if you don't know for sure.
Basically, it's a work in four parts. Where a trilogy is a series of three books, a quadrilogy is a series of four.
So, why am I teaching you this fun word?
​Because this year, I am part of a quadrilogy that will release every three months!

The series is called The Stained-Glass Legacy, and it follows a family from the 1920s through the 70s, into current day, and then into the future. ;) It sprang from an idea my friends and I started way back in 2019 at the KenTen Writers' Retreat. We were supposed to come up with one story idea all together, but the more we talked, the more we wanted to expand it.
Well, here we are several years later, and it's becoming a reality. The first book, Window of Opportunity, by Heather Greer, releases January 10th! I'm so excited about this book. It's set in the 1920s, starting in Harrisburg, Illinois and then moving down to our little made-up town of Park Haven, TN. 
Each story will follow the same family and include the same little chapel on the outside of town. And probably a few other things, too.
The second story is by Regina Rudd Merrick, Window of Peace. It it set in the 70s and includes a veterinarian and a veteran. It releases in April.
My story, Window of the Heart, is set in current day. I have some wedding planning going on, as well as some exercise classes. It will release in August.
And, last but not least, Erin Howard will finish us up with Window of Time. Her story might start in current day, but her character falls into a dystopian future, complete with a prince. It will come out in December!
I'm so excited for you to follow along with these stories. It's been an adventure making sure all of our pieces match and mesh, but also a lot of fun. Keep reading below for more information about Heather's story. And I'll be posting even more over the next few weeks.
What do you think? Do you like the idea of following a family over the course of four books? What intrigues you most about this quadrilogy?

Window of Opportunity
by Heather Greer

​Faith and duty drive Evangeline Moore to protect her father’s pristine image as a judge in Harrisburg, Illinois. Her resolve’s biggest test? Dot, her childhood friend. With Evangeline beside her, Dot’s desire for the Roaring Twenties’ glitz and glamor leads the pair into questionable situations.

Born into a Chicago mob family, Brendan Dunne understands duty, but faith puts him at odds with his father’s demands. Even when his brother James’s propensity for trouble lands them in Harrisburg, the truth is undeniable. To their father, the lines he won’t cross mean Brendan will never measure up.

When circumstances push Brendan and Evangeline together, unexpected events create opportunity to break free of family expectations. Will they be brave enough to forge their own path before the window closes on their chance to change?
