Posted Wednesday, 04/08/20

Lo and behold, Glinhaven was released by Club Lighthouse Publishing today. The novel is available in multiple e-book formats from Club Lighthouse, and in both Kindle and paperback editions from Amazon Click here to read the press release >

Piper Hunt leaves Boston to take over her grandfather's unique curio shop in Glinhaven, Massachusetts. While adjusting to life in the quaint seaside village, she uncovers dark secrets hidden at the forbidding Glinhaven Monastery which may also unlock mysteries from her past.

The final book cover depicts a monk in his robe as he approaches Glinhaven Monastery in the mist. Is it Brother Albert, perhaps? Much thanks to T.L. Davison and James Wason for the enigmatic rendition. Click on the image below to see a larger size in a new window.

The cookbook - known as Glinhaven Cookery - will be offered for free to those who purchase the Glinhaven novel at Amazon.

And there is now an official website for Glinhaven, where news about the book will be posted regularly.

When my publisher first received the manuscript for Glinhaven, she made a comment along the lines of "it has a Dark Shadows feel to it." No higher compliment could come my way, because that's exactly what I set out to do when I began writing Glinhaven.

Meanwhile, the following comes from the Glinhaven dedication page:

"Glinhaven" is dedicated to my favorite gothic authors, who in part inspired the story that unfolds in the following pages: Dorothy Daniels, Marilyn Ross (aka Dan Curtis), Marilyn Harris, Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney. Thank you for the many hours of reading enjoyment when I was in my teens and early 20s, and for inspiring me to do the same for others.

As I've said before, Glinhaven is my ode to the gothic fiction genre. Hopefully, I was able to do it justice.
