Back to Seagull Street: Senior Week in Ocean City, Maryland, Coming SEPTEMBER 1, 2026

BACK TO SEAGULL STREET BLURB:

In the summer of 1989, Juni Rydell met Jack Michaels during senior week in Ocean City, Maryland. One unforgettable week stretched into an entire summer—and a first love neither of them would ever forget.

Juni was headed to college and a promising future. Convinced he would only hold her back, Jack ignored her letters and calls and disappeared from her life. He told himself he was doing the right thing. Juni knew only that the boy she loved had abandoned her when she needed him most.

Thirty-six years later, they meet again in Ocean City. Juni is fiercely independent, with a life she built entirely on her own. Jack is successful, guarded, and still haunted by his past. Neither is prepared for the feelings that return, or for the weight of everything left unsaid between them.

As the summer of 2025 draws Juni and Jack closer, they must decide whether the truth about the past will finally set them free …or prove that their second chance has come too late.

I’m so excited to reveal the cover of Book Two in the Seagull Street Ocean City series: Back to Seagull Street: Senior Week in Ocean City, Maryland.

Artist Marc Emond of Stinky Beach Studio has beautifully brought together the story’s key elements: seagulls, the beach, the Boardwalk, a lifeguard stand, and a very special bench on 15th Street.

A huge thank-you to Marc for the amazing cover artwork for both Book One and Book Two! I’m thrilled to be collaborating with him again and absolutely love how he has brought Seagull Street to life.
