Dear Reader,
Welcome to my brand-new Summer Harbor series! I’m so excited to introduce you to the Callahan brothers. I didn’t have to go far for inspiration. As the mother of three sons, I sometimes joke that I suffer from testosterone poisoning. But I’ve secretly enjoyed our male-dominated household. I’ve had a front-row seat to the camaraderie, comedy, and competition that goes on when three male siblings interact. It’s fascinating and entertaining, even more so as they become grown men! I hope you enjoy getting to know the Callahan brothers.
Before starting this series I had never been to Maine. Since my author friend and critique partner Colleen Coble was also setting a series there, we decided to take our research trip together. We had a blast. The rugged coastline, the quiet harbors, and the hearty communities—it was the perfect place for our characters to fall in love! As we brainstormed, we decided to set our fictional towns close by each other and share a couple of characters. So if you’re a reader of Colleen’s, you might recognize a few places and faces as you read Falling Like Snowflakes. We hope that brings a smile to your face. If you’re not acquainted with Colleen’s work and decide you can’t get enough of Down East Maine, check out her Sunset Cove series!
In the meantime, grab your favorite drink, settle back in your chair, and come along on a journey to a wonderful place called Summer Harbor.
Blessings!
Denise
