The Misremembered Lighthouse
September 2025, published by Drake Valley Press.
For those who loved historian and author Hayley Hunter in April in the Back of Beyond, she’s back!
While researching her next book, historian and author Hayley Hunter rents a lighthouse in Southeastern North Carolina. The modern lighthouse and vacation home replaced an original wood structure that only functioned during the Revolutionary War. The old lighthouse may be long gone, but the lightkeeper’s ghost remains. Hayley becomes increasingly obsessed with finding why the spirit of Jonathan Corbyn lingers between realms. Her search will take her into a world of spies, double agents, and espionage at the dawn of American democracy.

April in the Back of Beyond
by p.m.terrell
Writer Hayley Hunter has arrived in Ireland to complete a book on Irish history. When she discovers the old carriage house she is renting is haunted, she is determined to uncover the truth behind the burned ruins of a nearby manor house and the abandoned British barracks the home once overlooked. Her quest will take her to 1919 and the Irish War for Independence, exposing the murders of two young men. She will also discover why their mother, April Crutchley, refuses to leave the back of beyond even in death. As Hayley gets closer to the truth the villagers have long sought to bury, she finds her own life is now in danger.
