The Rise and Fall of the Cielo Republic

Waldo’s next (and probably last) novel, coming late 2026

E-book release date: TBD — Paperback: TBD

In 1994, two college dropouts on a Florida roadtrip followed a mysterious voice that led them to Key West, and into the heart of a psychedelic drug turf battle that would help shape more than three decades of American politics and culture wars. 

What Cottleston Pierce really wanted was to find the lost love of all his lives. 

Blending revolutionary fervor and intrigue with spiritual searching and consciousness expansion, with a cast of characters spanning more than one hundred years and at least three lifetimes, “The Rise and Fall of the Cielo Republic” is an epic historical fantasy grounded in magical realism. It recalls the carefree era just before email and cellphones, and the buoyant times of youth when a person could call in sick forever and hit the road. Most of all, “Cielo” is the story of a love too strong to die, and how it learned to live again.
