A Beacon for the Heart

In the fall of 2020, several authors combined their talents in three anthologies set in the fictitious town of Hope Harbor. Volume One was Hope Harbor, Volume Two – The Legend of the Whalehouse Taver, and Volume Three – A Beacon in the Storm.

In each anthology, the authors were given certain items they had to use but could write in any genre and timeframe. The stories had to be family friendly.

My three stories were always the first in each anthology as they set the tone for subsequent stories. With the return of my rights to my stories, I am compiling them into one book – A Beacon for the Heart.

The Pirate's Ring: Gideon O'Shay, pirate, keeper of a magic ring. Temperance Hopewell of the Hopewell family and a wickie. A downed ship, a chance meeting. Will the ring bring them untold treasures?

The Legend of the Whalehouse Tavern: The Whalehouse Tavern is no ordinary establishment. With the arrival of the Redcoats, Davey Hopewell and the townspeople must find a way to outsmart them. The arrival of a Irish man and his daughter change the course of the town. Magic is in the air at The Whalehouse Tavern.

The Wickie's Daughter:

The country is embattled in their fight for freedom from the British. Nia Hopewell, a wickie's daughter, finds a strange man in the top of the Hope Harbor Lighthouse. Who is he? Is he a British soldier as his uniform shows, or he is someone else? Is she and her family safe, or will they have to fight him?

The mysterious Irishman returns to Hope Harbor. With wisdom and secrets of his own, can he guide his great-granddaughter toward a future filled with love?
