Winterlight

by Jason Garrett, Yannick Bouchard

On the eve of winter, a visitor known only as Lee arrives in the mountainside community of Greely Pointe. Though a newcomer, he draws the attention of several townspeople who claim to have unique, lifelong connections to him. Their stories reach the ear of Shelby Greer, the town's favorite daughter. She's soon introduced to Lee when he visits her Winterlight Curio and Coffee Shoppe. Having lived in Greely Pointe for the majority of her life, Shelby cannot explain how he's known to most of her acquaintances-but not to her. What Shelby doesn't realize is that Lee has been sent to Greely Pointe specifically for her. With the aid of a man who knew Lee as a child, the newcomer attempts to help Shelby in her time of need. Despite her tremendous success and the magic of her studio, Shelby has lost her desire to create, to inspire. As they weave in and out of each other's lives, Lee tries to solve the mystery of Shelby's heartache, while she tries to deny her curiosity in him. Working to undo their growing bond is Brady Boone, Shelby's oldest friend and the town's doctor. His jealousy and cynicism prompt him to investigate Lee, and to discover what he's running from. As the men develop a rivalry for Shelby's attention, the artist does her best to keep from being distracted by it all. Should Lee fail to help her, she'll sell Winterlight and leave Greely Pointe; a fact that seems oblivious to the doctor. Desperate to overcome obstacles set by Boone, and the threat of a winter storm, Lee is rushed to learn the truth and to restore what's missing from Shelby's life before she's driven away.

About the author

Since 2009, Jason Garrett has led readers on a series of thrilling journeys that began upon the foray into the world of Eric Kade in the novel HOMECOMING. Following the lives of two distinct characters, Jason's series immersed readers in a world of long lost love, faith and honor, betrayal and morality, and many other topics all beneath the clever guise of a horror tale. As seen through the eyes of demon-hunting preacher Eric Kade and the love of his life, Nickel Warren, HOMECOMING is an inspirational thriller sure to encourage and appeal to a vast audience of believers and non-believers alike.

In 2010, Jason led readers back to Bishop's Island for the tale of Aryn and Ryan Rayburn. With PURSUIT, his second novel under the Dream Big publishing logo, the history of Bishop's Island unfolds over the course of the abduction of beautiful historian, Aryn Rayburn. As her husband, Ryan, sets out to rescue her, she uncovers deeply buried secrets and treasures on their island home. This story of love and redemption has resonated with many readers and has opened up a whole new world for readers to discover.

Relying on his love of multiple genres and a belief that readers deserve to be treated to intelligent and complex stories with layered characters, Jason thrives on creating tales that resonate within the senses, the mind and the heart of the reader. Currently he is developing an expanded edition of his novel THE THREE as well as working on future titles.
