When Jacqueline follows her trusty Labrador Bailey down a hidden path to the beach, she's unaware that her vacation plans on a small island off the New England coast has already taken her life in a new direction. Running into an unassuming local beach comber stirs new thoughts, desires, and a self-determination she never knew she possessed. Jacqueline will need to trust her instincts and make the most of what fate has in store if she wants the future that, until now, she has only dared to dream of.


Read an Excerpt

The ferry was taking its sweet time making its way to Block Island.

Time is the ultimate dictator. Where did I hear that? I couldn’t have just come up with that one on my own.

Jacqueline French grabbed one of the last outside seats on the Block Island Ferry. It had only left Point Judith, RI, ten minutes ago, but for her, it seemed like ten hours ago. This would be her fourth September visiting this tiny tear drop-shaped island nestled between the south coast of Rhode Island and Montauk Point, located at the eastern tip of the south fork of Long Island, New York.

She always preferred visiting Block Island this time of year, after many of the Labor Day vacation stragglers dispersed and the kids were back at school. Although there were still a fair number of visitors, the din of racing mopeds was confined mostly to the weekends. Thanks to Michael, who she met on her first trip to Block Island, she came to know virtually every back road and trail on this seven-mile-long by three-mile-wide island. Beyond its beauty, Jacqueline’s deeper connection with the island was its shape. She shed many tears lately over the fate of her marriage and the direction her life had taken.

She always brought Bailey, her chocolate Labrador retriever, on her September sojourns to Block Island. Bailey enjoyed seeing the seals every year, and they seemed curious about her. But Bailey had become too arthritic to make the trip this year.

About the Author: Cynthia Flowers, a recently retired advertising professional, now grant writer, resides with her husband and four-year old Labrador named Eddie, at their “sanctuary” in Upstate New York, Although previously published, this is Cynthia's first book of fiction.

An AI-generated look at Winter Creek

 Okay, I'll admit it. I like using AI for pictures. All the Winter Creek covers are created that way. (I like the way they came out.) I've also been messing around with Copilot, and came up with some pictures of the town and people. The saloon from Entangled Hearts  The shop from Dressmaker's Dilemma    The classroom from Trusting the Cowboy And, for the soon-to-be released More Than a Kiss      Not to mention, an AI-generated picture of Winter Creek itself.    I really need to start writing again.    Oh, almost forgot, all of my Winter Creek books at 50% off the entire month of July. Why not go and check it out?   https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/TheresaStillwagon6651

Guest post-- How one author comes up with idea?

  In The Misremembered Lighthouse , historian and author Hayley Hunter rents a lighthouse converted into a rental property near the North Carolina coast. She uses it as a base to research her next book and continue her genealogy work, only to discover that the original lighthouse keeper, a Scottish immigrant named Jonathan Corbyn, haunts it. The lighthouse was inspired by the Ocracoke Light Station, which was only in use for less than twenty years due to shifting channels, and by the Wicklow Head Lighthouse in Ireland, which has been turned into a holiday rental. I loved its round rooms, natural lighting, spiraling staircases, and views of the water, skies, and seabirds. I combined the two to create the Corbyn Lighthouse near Wilmington, North Carolina, which is named for its only keeper, Jonathan Corbyn. I am intrigued by the Scots who migrated to North Carolina after the Battle of Culloden in Scotland, only to be called up to fight for the British during the American Revolu...

Blurb fo Winter Creek, Montana series

Winter Creek, Montana is a series of light paranormal books with interfering ghosts and hot cowboys.    Both of those give the women of Winter Creek a hard time.    Here's the overall blurb for the series. This came from the first book, Entangled Hearts, out Oct. 1. You can pre-order it now at  Smashwords .   Enjoy!!!   Return to Winter Creek   A peculiar stillness blanketed Winter Creek as Jen entered through the guarded gate, flashing her WCHA identification at the same sentry she had  encountered  days before. The silence held no menace for her; some might call it the hush of the dead, but nothing in the air or on Main Street suggested the presence of  spirits.   The Saloon Encounter   Inside the saloon, Jen made her way to the center. No voices whispered, no eerie scents lingered—only the usual sigh of the October wind outside. “Grace, are you here?” she called, moving through the bar to the cluttered back room. There,...
