"Burch’s exquisite descriptions of Provincetown bring the cape to life, and the more he reveals about the delightfully crotchety Dorrie and Lola and the effervescent, tragic Helena, the more captivating they become."
-Kirkus Reviews
The HomePort Journals A Provincetown Literary Mystery
Writer Marc Nugent escapes New York City and arrives in Provincetown in search of peace and inspiration. Instead, he plunges into an unexpected world of eccentric personalities, long-held secrets, and compelling mysteries at the storied HomePort mansion. Tasked with unraveling a decades-old mystery involving Captain Staunton’s tragic past and a young woman who vanished into legend, Marc discovers more than hidden truths—he finds friendship, authenticity, and a chance at unexpected love.
Blending witty dialogue, vibrant characters, and the atmospheric charm of Provincetown, The HomePort Journals captures the joys and complexities of chosen families, redemption, and self-discovery. Rich with warmth and emotional resonance, this novel explores LGBTQ+ themes, the power of reconciliation, and the transformative magic of loving friends.
Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven literary fiction, humorous mysteries, and stories celebrating the complexities of identity and relationships.
