Beach Days, a collection of short stories about Rehoboth Beach

In Beach Days you’ll meet a researcher who conducts a project to find romance and encounters an unexpected variable, a woman seeking solitude who learns that things aren’t always as they appear, a man who gets postcards seemingly from his dead wife, and a couple of elderly ladies who break out of the old-age home for one last fling in Rehoboth.

Comments:

Opening the cover of Beach Days is like unlocking the door to a beloved beach house. Waiting for you is a welcoming gathering of stories, each waiting to entertain and envelop you in its own way. Love stories, mysteries, family reminiscences, friendly connections, ghostly tales, even time travel—they’re all here, sprinkled with humor, studded with iconic Rehoboth landmarks, and, more often than not, culminating in happy endings. What better way to spend an afternoon than sitting under a rented beach umbrella, or curled up on your sofa at home, and savoring the delights in this anthology.

A tidy collection of Rehoboth beach stories to read on the beach. The selection is varied, from humor to sadness, from fiction to reminiscence. Every story deserves to have been included. The book is nicely produced with attention to fonts and page structure. The cover is simple but evocative of the theme. A great book for measured reading.

– Delaware Press Association judge, when giving Beach Days the first-place award for short story collection in 2015.
