Seascapes

Return to the windswept shores of the Outer Banks in Seascapes and Other Kinnakeet Stories, the third collection of Kinnakeet tales-where a charming seaside village hides just enough mystery to keep you turning pages.

These emotionally rich, character-driven stories dive into the heart of island life. Explore the beauty, the grit, and the choices that can change everything in a single tide. Expect buried treasure, hard-won survival, and sparks of love that may, or may not, light a fire.

The opening novella introduces two artists, one seasoned, one just beginning, drawn together by seascapes and the spell of Kinnakeet's coast. As mentor and student, they learn from each other about art and life, and discover that some lessons only arrive when you least expect them.

Ten additional short stories widen the view. Each one is a vivid snapshot of island wonder and risk. A long-buried treasure (almost certainly Blackbeard's) sparks a secret dig-and an astonishing discovery that spirals fast. An early-morning swim turns life-threatening. A tender bedtime tale recalls a sweeter, more romantic Kinnakeet. An iconic rock star reveals how an early visit inspired his greatest song and launched his career. And after a prickly first encounter, can tourist Bob and islander Ali find a way to something special?

Whether you're a longtime fan of Kinnakeet or discovering it for the first time, these stories will sweep you onto the sand, into the surf, and straight into the lives of unforgettable characters-leaving you wishing you could live here, or at least stay a bit longer.
