Dear friend,
I’m so excited to start a new series with you! This one is centered around a historic inn and three adult siblings who have already found a special place in my heart.
The seed for this first story began when my husband and I were renovating a one-hundred-year-old lake cottage. When the drywall was peeled away we were delighted to uncover signatures on the wooden walls beneath it—the boards had served as a guest book of sorts. The signatures dated back into the 1920s and ’30s and, to our surprise, included some notorious gangsters of the day—John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson among them. That gang was known to have roamed the area and was rumored to have hidden out around the lakes where the cottage was located.
Unfortunately, after consulting with some experts, we found out those signatures were not authentic. But the potential discovery was so exciting that it got my creative juices flowing. What could my protagonist find behind the walls of her historic inn? Lake Season is the direct result of that inspiration. I had so much fun conceiving and writing this story, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did.
Blessings!
Denise
