Christmas in Swan Harbor with Sophie Bartow

Happy Holidays!

If you are like me, there have been many times this year when you’ve wished you could go to bed and get up on the other side…and the world would have returned to normal.

This is one of the many reasons I created the town of Swan Harbor, Maine. I wanted a place with small-town charm, characters who were smart, funny, lovable, and complex. A place where the mysteries might be cozy or chaotic and where there’s always a happy beginning. In other words, a place where we can escape and fall in love.

Since I’m such a visual person, my goal is to paint a picture for my readers. My Pinterest page has storyboards with my vision of the characters, locations used, and teasers. And Giennie Flanagan, Swan Harbor’s realtor has provided a nice welcome video of the town.

Welcome to Swan Harbor


My Christmas release, A Tree, Mistletoe & A Sunset, is Book 7 of my Stories from Swan Harbor series. While the book stands alone and features the romance of Harper Patterson and Aiden Jones, it also swirls around characters introduced in previous books. Sally Patterson, Harper’s aunt and owner of Sally’s Diner, was first introduced in Welcome to Swan Harbor, a novella. And Aiden’s family is also involved in several ways. One cousin, Liam Reade, is getting married. Killian Reade, another cousin, is tracking down the underwear thieves. And there’s a mystery involving Jonesy, the white swan, who some believe is connected to the town’s hope. 

That's My Bra!

Harper Taylor returns to Swan Harbor with a broken heart. Teaching at the local university and participating in a secret match research project help her begin to heal. But her heart's unexpected response to a fellow professor has her believing she's been led home for a reason.

Aiden Jones may have randomly chosen Swan Harbor University, but once he arrives, he discovers both a long-lost family and a tie to a local mystery. However, it is his connection with Harper that gives him the confidence to fight for what he wants.

~~~SH~~~

Join Harper, Aiden, and the rest of Swan Harbor --- they know how to celebrate the holidays! And nothing says Merry Christmas like the tree lighting ceremony in the town square. But when an unorthodox thief gives the residents a big surprise, it leaves them holding on to their skivvies...literally.
