OBSESSED WITH HOUSES?
While writing this blog, I’ve discovered I’m obsessed with houses.
Island Girls is about three sisters who will inherit a Nantucket house IF they meet a certain stipulation in their father’s will.
A storybook house. A house with many stories. p10, Island Girls
Heat Wave is about a young widow who turns her Nantucket home into a B&B.
Summer House is about a wealthy family in a smaller version of this grand pillared mansion on Main Street.
Maggie McIntyre’s life changes when her divorced mother marries a Nantucket native and moves them to his rambling old house on the moors.
My last two novels were called The Guest Cottage and The Island House.
In my novel Belonging, Joanna Jones is the host of a television show called Fabulous Homes. She asks, What matters most in our home? Some people can describe it and have it built; others must find it. Does one love a home because of the way the light comes through the windows or because of the view one has standing at those windows looking out? The answer was always different. p88, Belonging.
This cottage on the harbor inspired Moon Shell Beach.
And a fine old Nantucket house plays a crucial role in my 2017 novel, Secrets in Summer.
To learn more or purchase any of these books (except Secrets in Summer!), return to the home page of my website and click on “Books.”
My husband & I welcomed the new century in with friends on the widow’s walk of this house. . .but that’s another story.
