Adventures for Anyone: Is It a Real Place or Somewhere Made up For a Novel...Greenville is Real!

Once in a while, I post about something that I wrote. This is one of those times. I must say, I've written about Greenville, Maine and it's one of my favorite places on Earth. It's quirky, the people are lovely, the scenery is gorgeous, the things to see and do are unique. That being said, I took it to a new level in my life and elevated it to a setting for my latest novel.

The north woods of Maine and Moosehead Lake are astoundingly beautiful. There's no two ways about that. There aren't many people as they warn you upon arrival in the satellite town of Kokadjo. The nature is beautiful. The landscapes are beautiful. The lakes are beautiful. The people are beautiful. Even the Moose are beautiful.

As a writer, I love to take the places that I love and write something unforgettable with those places as the settings. This was the case when I wrote "Greenville (Dynasty of the North Woods) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9F1XPJV and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B92NT5MW on Kindle and Amazon.

This is a murder mystery turned manhunt turned family drama that begins in Las Vegas and quickly travels to the tiny town of Greenville, Maine. It is nonstop action with a lot of planes, boats and moose. It's a one of a kind story in a one of a kind location.

The synopsis of the story reads:

Edwoena Carrington, of the Las Vegas Carringtons, is a vice cop, thrown into the case of a lifetime when a mysterious man, known as Mark Twain by the prostitutes he hires, begins killing the girls. Is he a modern day Jack the Ripper? Where does he come from?

Almost immediately, Eddie establishes the man's true identity; Mark Swain III. The game begins with her traveling to Maine, where she discovers her mother was born. She meets her relatives while in town to extradite Swain to Las Vegas for questioning, and the secrets continue to unfold.

Greenville, Maine is the quirky town she must learn to navigate. It's run by timber barons, it's full of moose, and there are Swain family secrets galore. Eddie soon discovers, not only is she from out of town, but she's part of the most powerful family in Northwestern, Maine.

Enacting an arrest warrant becomes virtually impossible as the murders continue, as wealth, mileage from the Canadian Border, and other interdepartmental complications hold up what should have been a simple arrest.

As Eddie Carrington deciphers more and more about the crimes and the man who commits them, her world turns upside down, leaving her the only one to deal with the now life and death situation created by the timber magnate in the north woods of Maine in a bizarre little town called Greenville.

The only reason that I'm bothering to talk about this book on my blog is because it's seems to be taking off like nothing I've ever written. It's only available for free on Kindle for the rest of today, 8/20/22. I want everyone who wants to check it out to be able to get a Kindle copy for free.

As far as Greenville goes, it's the most wonderful place to visit that I've ever been. I've been going there for 12 years and counting. I would live there if I could figure out how to support myself. I've been there in every season and seen festivals, all kinds of weather, and done all kinds of activities. This is the place that me and my husband escaped to during the great lockdown of 2020. It was the perfect place to go, because there were very few people. That also meant that Piscataquis County had no cases of Covid at the time.

If you do choose to read my latest novel, you will wonder if the things I talk about concerning Greenville and the surrounding areas of Moosehead Lake are real. Well, most of them are. They do have a tourist attraction that's a crashed B-52 Airplane. They do have a diner called Auntie M's. McDonald's didn't succeed there. There are more moose than people. All true. But, if you decide to travel there, please meet the people who live there. They are some of the most friendly, accommodating, inclusive, fun loving people you will ever meet. And the general sense of humor of the locals is out of this world. It's truly a place that I love to be.

I hope to continue to write about the characters I created in the north woods of Maine. I hope that this book goes over well enough for me to do that. I would really like that. I love to write. I'm having a lot of success right now. As for Maine, the coast is nice, but the woods is fantastic. In the summer the lake is full of planes. In the winter there are more snow machines than vehicles of any other kind. This is the one place where you can see cars race on a lake. It has a massive festival with a sea plane fly in. It's different. It's unusual. It's magnificent.

But, no matter what you're doing, Greenville is a hoot. It's fun, it scenic, it has something for everyone. You can even ski in the winter if you like. You can do all forms of outdoor activities in the summer. It's the home of landlocked Salmon, if you've ever heard of that. We spent some time kayaking on more than one lake. It's just an awesome place, whether you're getting a bag lunch to go at Auntie M's or broasted chicken at Flatlanders. There's no end to the moose hunting, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors in one of my favorite locations, now the location of my latest novel, Greenville, Maine. Enjoy!
