Welcome to the Outer Banks...

You've discovered a place where time finally waits for you to catch up. A place were serenity dares you to remember what it's like to breathe …really breathe as you fall with a sigh under the ancient spell of travelers past whispered on the wind and carried on gull wings A place where nature conspires to create a majesty of days more precious than the ones before as a ribbon of fire splits ocean from sky and you find yourself lost in the wonder of the serendipitous kiss of fate that beckoned you to these shores.

****************************

Lose yourself, if only for a few minutes at a time, in the magical place known as the Outer Banks. A place nature and all her wild beauty reign. A place the shore birds and dolphins join those intrepid few who wake before the dawn, so they might greet her fire with a groggy smile and a hot, steaming cup of hope. A place steeped in so much beauty, history and lore it captured the imagination and heart of the author and she turned it into poetry. Accompany her as she shares her vision of the magic and majesty she found along those shores in words and photographs. Who knows...perhaps after spending time with Fiona within the pages of AS NIGHT FALLS HUSHED, you'll find yourself falling in love with, and longing to visit the place she lovingly refers to as her home away from home
