Letters from the Coast

Introducing Letters from the Coast

Stories have always begun for me with places.

The quiet squares of Savannah. The ancient streets of St. Augustine. The marshes, the tidewater, the old houses that seem to remember more than they say.

These places have a way of speaking softly if you spend enough time with them. Many of the ideas that eventually become my novels begin as small observations about these coastal cities—the history beneath the sidewalks, the stories that linger in old buildings, the strange intersections between faith, history, and human choices.

Over the past few months, several readers have asked if there was a way to hear more about the stories behind the books. Not just announcements of new releases, but the things that don’t always fit inside a novel itself: the research discoveries, the history that inspires a plot, and the quiet moments when a story first begins to take shape.

So I’ve decided to begin something new.

It’s called Letters from the Coast.

From time to time, I’ll send a short note to readers sharing a few things that interest me at the

moment—updates about upcoming books, glimpses into the research behind my mysteries, reflections on the history of Savannah and St. Augustine, and occasional thoughts about the themes that run through my stories.

If you enjoy atmospheric mysteries, old cities, and the strange ways the past continues to influence the present, I think you may enjoy these letters.

They won’t arrive often. I know how crowded inboxes can become, and I prefer to send something thoughtful rather than frequent.

But when a letter does arrive, my hope is that it feels a bit like sitting down for a quiet conversation about stories, history, and the mysteries that surround us.
