Description

A summer on the California coast calls to Mattox Williams, a writer wanting quiet days to do the finishing work on his novel. He leases his Santa Fe house for three months and finds an ocean-facing room at Glitter Bay. While meeting the other people of the beach community, a love affair develops as well as the surrounding strife. He makes a deep emotional mark on the neighbors, particularly on Hayden Danning and his sister, Sylvan. A surprise offer from a film producer opens his horizons and requires trips south to Hollywood and Laguna Beach. At the end of summer, Mattox tries to find a way to keep alive the love he has found. Other books by Douglas Atwill, all from Sunstone Press, are "Why I Won't Be Going to Lunch Anymore," "The Galisteo Escarpment," "Imperial Yellow," and "Creep Around the Corner." Atwill lives in Santa Fe, painting New Mexico landscapes and gardens.

Author Biography:

DOUGLAS ATWILL was born in Pasadena, California, earned a BA from the University of Texas at Austin and he served in the Army Counterintelligence Corps. After a long sojourn on a Piedmont cattle farm in Virginia and on the move throughout Europe, he settled in Santa Fe to pursue painting full-time. From a studio on Canyon Road, he paints landscapes and paintings of his own gardens. His work is shown in galleries throughout the West. Atwill's avocation of restoring adobe houses and building them anew has earned him a reputation for excellence in taste and design, and his houses have been featured in many magazines and books. His other books include the novels "The Galisteo Escarpment," "Imperial Yellow," "Creep Around the Corner," and "Dinner in the Labyrinth," the short story collections "Why I Won't Be Going to Lunch Anymore" and "Husband Memory Pickles," and "Douglas Atwill Paintings," a collection of Atwill's New Mexico garden and landscape paintings.
