Two tales inspired by the magical Maine coast: 'Emancipated Child' features Jason Thibodeau, a young man who is challenged to accept his power -- and his destiny -- in the tiny coastal town of Surfside. 'How Nathan Archer Came to be a Prince of the Land of the Flowers,' tells the story of a young woman who puts duty before all. Also included in an author's foreword -- 'In Which Writing Novels is Like Sewing.'
