Hello, blog friends!
​
Today I have the extraordinary pleasure of welcoming
 author ​D. Wallace Peach to my blog. Her novella, The Seas of Time, is the fourth book in the Harbor Pointe series, and today is Release Day. I've already turned it's pages and can attest that this is an entrancing, 5-Star read. 

Most of you know Diana, but here's a few brief facts about her. She lives in an area much like the fictional town of Harbor Pointe. She and her husband reside in a log cabin, tucked away amongst the tall evergreens and emerald moss of Oregon's rainforest. They've befriended two owls, a horde of bats, and the occasional family of coyotes.

A long-time reader, best-selling author D. Wallace Peach started writing later in life when years of working in business surrendered to a full-time indulgence in the imaginative world of books. She was instantly hooked.

In addition to fantasy books, Peach’s publishing career includes participation in various anthologies featuring short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. She’s an avid supporter of the arts in her local community, organizing and publishing annual anthologies of Oregon prose, poetry, and photography.

BLURB:

In 1858, a ship carrying ice from Alaska wrecked off the coast of California, and little does Taliah Keldan realize how that tragedy will impact her life in 1972.

When Tali decides to quit college and become a civil rights activist, her disappointed parents encourage her to think it over. What better spot for contemplation than at her aunt and uncle’s Harbor Pointe Inn, a charming seaside getaway with its own lighthouse? The place is under renovation and empty of guests. All she’ll have to deal with is the construction crew.

But the inn is far from peaceful.

Tali discovers an old Bible hidden in the lighthouse keeper’s cottage. Strange prayers angle down the margins, all but one ruined by the sea. When she deciphers the crude writing, a dark portal gapes open to a pre-civil war night when an escaped slave in a foundering ship prayed to his voodoo God. A winged creature emerges from the watery void, and her stay transforms into a nightmare.

With the aid of the construction foreman, Tali is determined to send the beast back through time, a choice that will risk their lives, test her convictions, and change her future.

If the above sounds exciting, I can assure you that it is. Below are a few links that will lead you to Diana and The Seas of Time:

Thank you so much for the lovely introduction, Gwen. It is a bit like Harbor Pointe around here, except no ocean and lighthouse. That's probably a good thing based on what happens in these stories. Lol. Thanks so much for sharing the release and helping to make this is fabulous day. Hugs.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
