The Misremembered Lighthouse
By p.m.terrell, coming in September 2025 and 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.

A Struggle for Independence
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Ireland’s Easter Rising
A Struggle for Independence
By p.m.terrell, published by Drake Valley Press, 2020
It is 1916 Ireland, and Independence Mather has settled into a routine in an arranged and loveless marriage when she meets architect Nicky Bowers. She falls in love with the charming and attentive Irishman, but Nicky holds secrets. When she discovers he is an Irish rebel on the eve of the Easter Rising, events propel her into the midst of the rebellion. From Dublin’s GPO to Saint Stephen’s Green, she races to discover whether he is yet alive or he is one of those cut down by seasoned British forces arriving to put down the rebellion. At a crossroads in her life and in Ireland’s history, she must make a decision that will change her life forever: she can remain the wife of a British loyalist, or she can risk losing everything to be with the man she loves.
Set against the sweeping vistas of Ireland from Dublin to the Wicklow Mountains, terrell brings alive a tumultuous time in Ireland’s history, interweaving historical events and the people that gave their lives to ensure Ireland’s independence.

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.
