Meet Author Kathryn Knight
Wednesday, June 26th from 3:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Join local author Kathryn Knight as she joins us at the library from 3:00 p.m - 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 26th to autograph copies of her books Gull Harbor and Silver Lake. 

The author describes her work as, "Passionate Romance with a Paranormal Twist", and her latest work is now available from Amazon in both paperback and e-book form. Copies of her books will be available for sale. 

Gull Harbor  - When Claire Linden’s job sends her to the sleepy town of Gull Harbor, she never expects to encounter her ex-boyfriend. As a medium, the prospect of tackling a haunted house is less daunting than seeing Max Baron again. Throughout their passionate college relationship, he promised to love her forever. Then, without explanation, he abandoned her on graduation day.

 

Max never intended to break Claire's heart—a cruel ultimatum forced him to disappear from her life. While he's shocked to find her in Gull Harbor, he isn't surprised by the bitter resentment she feels for him...or the fiery attraction that remains between them.

Claire is determined to rid her temporary home of its aggressive ghost, but Max soon realizes she's facing a danger beyond the paranormal. When Claire risks everything to help a desperate spirit, Max must race to save her—before another tragedy tears them apart forever."
