Book excerpt: New Petrograd was a village on Canada's Pacific Northwest coast that was settled when its inhabitants fled the Russian revolution of 1917. Meet Phil Filipov, the village's lighthouse keeper, who will introduce you to New Petrograd as he takes you around the village, sharing the warmth of his friends and their memories of the times in which they grew up. Part of the story involves newcomers Marvin and June Palmer, who bought the old Pagadon house and retired from their busy lives in Vancouver - or so they say. Steve Philip and Mark Feodociv sailed in sometime later, but it wasn't long before they were immersed in the village's activities, with their own stories to add to the town's rich history. Lighthouse in the Mist is not only a fictional memoir. It's daily life on the edge of a continent. It's a charming romance. And it's something more.

The newest residents, June and Marvin Palmer, get surprising and welcome news-their daughter Shelley is coming home as Gaspar Rosso's bride! And with their impromptu wedding reception begins the busiest summer the village has ever seen.With its fascinating and unique past, New Petrograd has opened its doors as a living history museum, welcoming the public to experience the food, the costumes, and the traditions of its residents. Under Mary Ellen Filipova's capable management, summer staff come on board, and, in the midst of a flurry of building, she learns that New Petrograd may even become an excursion destination for a cruise line. But along with the influx of tourists and staff comes a perplexing mystery. Every shop in the village reports items missing-items that could mean the difference between success and financial failure. Could it be one of the summer staff? Or Bert, the new gardener who always has a proverb for the occasion? Or could it be a tourist-or worst of all, a new resident? Determined to find the answer before the village's reputation is shattered, Shelley Rosso sets the khaki cap of her 1917 Russian policewoman's uniform firmly on her head and opens an investigation. But with waves of tourists coming all summer for Russia Day, Canada Day, Family Day, and Labour Day, will she find the answer in time?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Nagy fancied himself as an admirer of the ocean. He spent many hours fixated on the coastal waters of Maine while standing outside the tower of Cape Elizabeth’s famous lighthouse. During one calm, peaceful morning, he witnessed a little more than he’d expected. Stumbling across a group of outsiders to his hometown, Samuel learned of a criminal syndicate so ruthless, it would risk the lives of his entire family. The Irish Mafia found refuge within the community of Portland Maine. Their bloodthirsty members tormented local citizens creating and fortifying a criminal empire reaching all aspects of life in the city. Their livelihood centered on exporting valuable stolen goods overseas. Anyone caught hindering that process succumbed to the violent nature of mob life. Samuel found out the hard way mob bosses silenced all witnesses. He fell directly into the middle of crime spree so horrific, he discovered the antics of the Irish Mafia literally would involve the dead. Risking his own life, Samuel reached out to government officials in positions of authority for help. Unfortunately, mafia ties within the government halted any assistance. Samuel turned to his father for assistance and advice, but even his most trusted parent seemed to walk a thin line. Samuel was confused about his father’s position, concerned he might somehow be involved with the mafia. Turning to the streets for solace, a most inconspicuous homeless man befriended a young Samuel, giving him sound advice on how to handle his predicament. Samuel carried out his actions using that advice, determined to learn of his father’s involvement with the Irish Mob while protecting his family in the process. Unfortunately, the mob wasn’t going to have a recent graduate of high school interrupt their plans. Removing any and all witnesses was the only stance for the mobsters. Samuel had no choice but to expose the mafia’s actions, while bringing attention to their criminal syndicate. An all-out adventure that span not only Portland, but also the islands off the coast of Maine led to a standoff with some of the most notorious killers the State of Maine had ever seen. Filled with fast-paced boat chases along the coast, to underground investigations, Samuel worked his hardest to expose every detail of the Irish Mafia’s enterprise. The only cost: he would never see his father again.
