"Mystery at Sea Edge: A Monterey Adventure"

Mysteries are woven deep into the sands of Monterey, California.

When young Wick Farrington finds himself spending summer at the Sea Edge house, little does he expect the adventures that lie ahead. Alongside his cousin Les, and his little sister Rindy, he is thrust into a world filled with shadowy figures on foggy dunes, clues found among crashing waves, and tales of lost ships and hidden jewels.

As Wick, Les, and Rindy unravel the enigma surrounding the Gingerbread House, an old shack with countless secrets, they encounter valuable heirlooms and antique lockets that hint at a mysterious past. The summer takes a perilous turn with unexpected dangers, mysterious lights on the beach, and chilling cries from trapped souls.

At the heart of it all is a story that intertwines families, uncovers lost treasures, and challenges prejudices. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Monterey and its rich history, "Mystery at Sea Edge" is a tale of growth, friendship, and the timeless allure of adventure.

As a historical fiction author for children, my work is all about bringing the past to life in a way that is both educational and entertaining. I strive to create immersive and engaging stories that transport young readers to fascinating worlds of the past, filled with adventure, mystery, and wonder.
To do this, I spend countless hours researching historical details, customs and traditions of times long past including civilizations to fashions and manners of bygone eras. I then use this research to craft compelling fictional characters and narratives that bring history to life in a way that is both authentic and accessible.
Whether it's exploring the mysteries of Monterey or the California Gold Rush my books are designed to spark a love of history in young readers that will stay with them for a lifetime. By making history fun and exciting, I hope to inspire the next generation of historians, writers, and adventurers.
