Gay Mega Church Scandal Makes Bestsellers Holiday List

[Troy]

 

Readers have placed The Last Sunday by author, Terry E. Hill, on Black Expressions Bestsellers List. Black Expressions is one of the largest online book clubs targeting the African American consumers.

 

Many readers are comparing Hill to the late E. Lynn Harris whose popular books chronicle the lives of "Down Low" African American men. Hill is one of few writers that has been able to capture the interest of the large African American book buying market with a story that revolves around a same sex relationship.

 

Come Sunday Morning is his first novel and the first book in the Sunday Morning Trilogy. The sequel, When Sunday Comes Again, was released at the end of 2012 and was selected by the Sankofa Literary Society as number 3 of the 5 best fiction books of 2012. The finale, The Last Sunday, was released in October 2013.

 

The subject matter has resonated with readers because it mirrors several high profile scandals in prominent mega churches. In Come Sunday Morning a beautiful pastor’s wife, Samantha Cleaveland, arranges the assassination of her husband Hezekiah T. Cleaveland in the pulpit of their mega church after learning of his homosexual affair.

 

The story continues in the sequels with Samantha being challenged by people who suspect she played a role in her husband’s death.
