Red at Night Series

  • Red At Night

    Book 1 of the series

    The town of Boothbay Harbor on the coast of Maine is a mix of summer people and locals. Jack Finn is a lobsterman. He is hard working and well liked, but not enjoying life since the tragic death of his girlfriend.

    Melissa Andrews is a celebrity actress and singer. She came to Boothbay Harbor to escape the despicable Hollywood press and consider a career change.

    Find out what happens when two people of vastly different backgrounds meet. And, why does a lobster boat leave the dock after the others have returned? This is a story of mystery, suspense and romance.

    Jerry Farnham takes you into a Maine lobstering family and the hidden side of their community as only one who has lived and worked there can.

  • Red in the Morning

    Book 2 of the series

    Picking up mere seconds from where Red At Night left off, Maine blue-collar author Jerry Farnham takes us back into the lives of Jack Finn and Melissa Andrews. How will the new couple handle pregnancy? How will they handle living together? Will Jack leave the Finn family compound?

    Agent Ross is missing, there is a mysterious man lurking around asking about Melissa, Russell is rushed to the hospital, and there is an empty seat at the Finn family breakfast table.

    Grab your scotch and get ready for an intense boat ride!

    Book 3 of the series

    Have you wondered what would happen if the Waltons met the cast from 90210?  First Light gives readers a look into the foundation of the families who make up the Red at Night series.  As the first but, written third, book in the series, readers will learn the back story of the series’ main characters, Jack Finn and Melissa Andrews. Starting with how each of their parents met, their childhood experiences that will shape them as adults, to the comical happenstance that finally brings them together, readers will come to know and love each character as individuals and how their personalities add to the content and flavor of the story.  This charming tale provides comical events, tragic events, and plants seeds for the remainder of the series; you won’t be able to put it down and you’ll want to read the rest of the series in rapid succession! 

    While this book is perfect for readers who are new to the series, this book will also provide those readers who have already read Red at Night and Red in the Morning with more character depth, as well as answer some questions about character development. 

    First Light is the perfect read – relaxing and engaging! 

    Tentative release date August 30th.
