One Year on Seagull Street

Celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with Welcome to Seagull Street: That Summer in Ocean City, Maryland, for Just $0.99! Kindle Link.

One year ago, Welcome to Seagull Street officially made its way into the world. What started as a story inspired by Ocean City Boardwalk summers, bayside sunsets, friendship, romance, and just enough chaos to keep readers turning pages has now reached readers far beyond Maryland’s coast.

To celebrate both Memorial Day weekend and the book’s one-year anniversary, the Kindle edition of Welcome to Seagull Street is available for a limited time for just $0.99, through May 27, 2026.

For many readers, Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer. Beach bags come back out. Vacation playlists start up again. Ocean City fills with people chasing sunshine, Boardwalk fries, late-night rides, and memories that somehow feel timeless no matter how many summers pass.

That spirit is at the heart of Welcome to Seagull Street.

Set in Ocean City, the novel follows characters navigating friendship, heartbreak, romance, reinvention, and the complicated reality of starting over. Readers have described the story as a nostalgic beach read with unexpected twists, emotional depth, and vivid Ocean City details that make the setting feel like a character itself.

Over the past year, the novel has:

  • Reached Amazon Best Seller status (#11 in Contemporary Women’s Fiction)
  • Connected with readers across Kindle Unlimited and paperback
  • Been featured at book fairs, author events, and numerous book clubs
  • Earned dozens of reader reviews and ratings
  • Inspired conversations about favorite Ocean City memories and summer traditions

For longtime Ocean City locals, former summer workers, beach lovers, and readers looking for an escape, Welcome to Seagull Street was written as both a love letter to the Maryland coast and a story about the people who find pieces of themselves there.

And this is only the beginning.

Book 2 is nearing completion, continuing the story with new characters, returning favorites, flashbacks to 1989, and another summer full of romance, mystery, and Boardwalk drama.

If you’ve been meaning to visit Seagull Street, Memorial Day weekend is the perfect time to start.

Happy summer and thank you to everyone who has supported the book during its first year!
