Meet Mary Tilghman author of Fearless Summer: Return to Chincoteague on Sunday, August 11th at 6pm!
About Mary:
Mary K. Tilghman, an award-winning journalist and travel writer, writes historical novels and sweet love stories. Her home state of Maryland figures prominently in all of her novels.
She first considered the move from non-fiction to novels while she was touring historic sites for Frommer’s Maryland and Delaware travel guides. In 2017, she put her press credentials aside—at least temporarily—to publish her first novel, Divided Loyalties, the story of an immigrant Irish teenager who serves as a Civil War battlefield nurse. It was cited in CBSBaltimore’s “Five Baltimore Authors To Put On Your Summer Reading List.”
Fearless Summer: A Return to Chincoteague is her third sweet romance published by Champagne Book Group. A fourth book, set in Ocean City, Md., Step into the Sunlight, will be released in Summer 2023.
When she’s not wearing out yet another computer keyboard, Mary likes to hang out on her sailboat or play her hammered dulcimer. She still freelances and loves to encourage other authors.
She and her husband Ray are lucky to have their three grown children living nearby.
Fearless Summer: Return to Chincoteague
Coming home to Chincoteague means Charlotte will have to face Henry, the childhood love who broke her heart.
The idyllic town is a summer playground for tourists eager to see the wild ponies and ocean beaches. But to Charlotte it’s a place of memories of the love she lost when he broke their engagement.
After running away eight years ago, she reluctantly returns to help her sisters run a new candy shop.
On her first day back, Charlotte crashes her bike into the man she never wanted to see again. Henry, now the single dad of a lively seven-year-old daughter, feels the old spark. Consumed by guilt, he never imagined he and Charlotte could find love again.
Until today.
