In this gritty and humorous novel, twenty-five year old Cam Preston tries to navigate the riptides of change cutting through the coastal town of Laurel, Maine. It should have been easy: Cam and his family would lay his grandmother to rest by releasing her ashes into the waters off of Gray Gull Beach. But the boat pivots at just the wrong moment and her remains are blown back onto the deck. Cam does not fail to see the symbolism. The four years he's spent working as a carpenter since graduating from college are considered "extended summer" by his parents. And his Boston-based girlfriend is auditioning more upwardly mobile prospects. When Cam takes a chance on a job turning a derelict bait shed on Laurel Harbor Pier into an upscale restaurant for a trust fund-fed artist and her bartender ex-boyfriend, he's propelled into a summer where even his best decisions seem to only stave off disaster. SUMMER TO FALL is a compelling story of transition and redemption.

They came to a fork in the road of life, two different roads diverged."When evening came, all was gone.A gale of wind, not of laughter;My grave unholy, cold dirt my tomb--Why am I forgotten?"In 1869, the Saxby Gale ripped through Cape Cod causing wide-spread death and destruction. Most of the bay side homes were washed away, cascading into the salt marshes, and disappearing into the cold, deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean. During the superstorm of the century, Old Man Hartley, his wife Mary, and their farm vanished. Most people believe that on dark, thunderous, rainy nights, the ghost of Old Man Hartley haunts the land where his farm once stood. The discovery of a buried Mason jar 150 years later, the hunt for a rare painting, and the appearance of ghosts and ghostlike visions, provide clues to the Hartley mystery. What ensues, is a Grail-like quest, laden with hurdles, both real and surreal, that would test the commitment of Sir Arthur's most noblest knights.Rachael Morgan is a former FBI analyst working as a librarian. After her recent divorce, she is driven by wonderful, childhood memories of vacationing with her family on Cape Cod. On a whim, she packs up her belongings, and escapes to the idyllic town of Dennis, Massachusetts. Michael Maine is a veteran of the US Navy. After receiving his honorable discharge, he leaves San Diego on a cross country tour. Zigzagging north and south, visiting all the cities and sites he'd read about during long stretches at sea. When he runs out of road on the peninsula of Cape Cod, his wandering is over, he found his new home.A passion for books, and a chance meeting bring Rachael and Michael together in friendship. When they learn of the Hartley mystery, the duo form an alliance and undertake a mythical and mystical quest, searching art galleries on Cape Code. As summer turns to fall, their stamina begins to wane. Will their mutual passion for nature's beauty unite them in love and give them the strength to overcome a test of Gawain's endurance, and solve the Hartley puzzle?
