She was also named a finalist in the 2024 American Book Fest Visionary Fiction and 2025 Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance Speculative Fiction Awards. Good Vibrations of the Dead River Valley is the second book in her supernatural series
While trying to make sense of her ability to see into the past, Penelope Goode leaves her hometown of Portland for the mountains of northwestern Maine to visit a relative threatened with losing his property.
In the shadow of Mount Bigelow, Pennie finds herself steeped in a community of loggers, hunters, and fishers, sensing the vibrations of hardy souls who settled in the river valley. Her visions take her back in time, the days before the villages of the valley were flooded by the power company.
Sinking even deeper into the past, she dreams of Benedict Arnold’s epic expedition through the untamed wilderness. By sensing the many vibrations of the land’s storied history, Pennie discovers injustices of the past, and the freedom America fought for 250 years ago, to continue her fight for individual rights today.
