Hooray! This is my alter-ego's story :D

Blackbird Publishing @blackbirdpublish.bsky.social · May 30

A family vacation. A lake house. A ghost in the cupboard.

Deb Logan’s “That Lake House Summer” is a reflective, gently spooky coming-of-age tale about love, family, and what lingers in places we thought we knew.

Read the interview with Deb: blackbirdpublishing.com/interview-th...

A deep blue forest fading into fog. This image feels nostalgic and gently uncanny—perfectly evoking the atmosphere of “That Lake House Summer” by Deb Logan.
