Charlie Peacock To Release Debut Novel In November

Charlie Peacock will release his debut novel, Once Concealed Now Revealed, on Nov. 17 via It’s…

The novel follows two generations of the Taylor family shaped by trauma and secrecy, exploring love under pressure, how deeply held beliefs can wound other people, and the cost of success.

“Art has a way of revealing itself to the artist with a mix of intention and mystery,” says Peacock. “Perhaps this novel came to me because silence and avoidance have killed people I love, and because I have seen — in my own body, family, and faith — what happens when the unspeakable gets buried and when it finally speaks. It may hurt like hell. You may think you are dying. But the truth is, most things — especially love — survive.”

The novel arrives on the heels of Peacock’s 2025 memoir, Roots & Rhythm: A Life in Music , which earned a starred review from Library Journal and a spot on its Best Books 2025 list for Performing Arts.

Peacock is a Grammy Award–winning music producer, recording artist and author. He was named by Billboard ’s Encyclopedia of Record Producers as one of the 500 most important producers in music history, and has worked with Switchfoot, The Civil Wars, Béla Fleck, Chris Cornell, Amy Grant, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and more across his five-decade career.
