Welcome to Golden Doors

What, you may ask, is Golden Doors? It's a house. You can't go there, not yet. Soon! Very soon, I promise! Well, not until Summer 2021, which is when The Summer We Found Us releases.

Golden Doors is one of those giant, sprawling houses with acres of gardens that don't end until they reach a cliff that falls down to the sea. There's rose gardens and a gazebo and a widow's walk. Its cedar shingles are grey, as are most of the stately, elegant houses on Nantucket. 

I love books with old houses in them, houses where you can get lost in the many rooms, some tiny nooks, others great halls. I love grand staircases and winding back staircases, privet hedges and open lawns. I'm not a gazillionaire, so I don't have one myself (I have a tiny apartment!) which is why I wrote a book with one. 

A website's not quite like a house, of course, but you can still poke around and explore. Learn more about the book featuring Golden Doors, or my inspiration behind it, or the books I've written before. Enjoy!
