"Light My Way Home" is a tiny novella set in an amazing world of urban fantasy novels written by Morgan Brice/Gail Z. Martin. People who follow all those exciting adventures of the author's characters, especially those known to us from the "Treasure Trail" series, already know the main characters of "Light My Way Home". However, I believe it's important to point out that only in this novella we have the opportunity to get to know Monty and Jon for real and learn a lot more about their relationship and its story. All that makes this story essential for every fan of the author.
However, equally important is the fact that we do not need to know the earlier works of Morgan Brice to read and fully enjoy "Light My Way Home". This short story is the perfect first encounter with Monty and Jon and it shows all new readers what to expect from the author's novels and her world.
This novella is therefore an ideal one for both people who have already read some author's works and know her characters, as well as those who are just beginning their adventure in the vast, wonderful world created by Morgan Brice.
Okay, but what's so special about "Light My Way Home", you ask. Well, Monty and Jon are extraordinary heroes that are not so easy to find in other novels. The story of their love is undoubtedly rare and very romantic. In the ordinary world, these two would not have the right to meet, as there is much more that separates them than in the case of any average lovers. However, at the same time they have no less in common, thanks to which they have the strength and courage to take up the challenge and face normality by becoming a couple that will never be forgotten. As you could see in this novella, for true feeling there are no insurmountable obstacles.
In short, Morgan Brice has written a unique novella in which the characters are one of a kind. Give Jon and Monty's extraordinary love a chance and you won't regret it as you'll fall in love with "Light My Way Home". Believe me, this story is irresistible.
Excerpt
"And that concludes today’s tour of the Cape May Lighthouse. Don’t forget to stop by our gift shop and tell your friends if you had fun today.” Lighthouse keeper
Montana “Monty” Clark watched his guests troop toward the shop and followed close behind so he could ring up their snacks and souvenirs.
“What is that big thing out on the beach?” a lady who reminded Monty of his grandmother asked as he ran her credit card for a lighthouse Christmas ornament, some post‐ cards, bottled water, and a bag of gummy worms.
“That’s Battery 223, built to survive an air strike, and back during the Second World War, it protected the coast with guns that could fire shells miles out to sea,” Monty said with a smile as he carefully wrapped the ornament and bagged her purchases. “Of course, the guns have been gone for a long time. It’s part of the park now, but it’s closed up, so unfortunately, no one can go inside.”
“I bet it would be a popular tour if you could get that changed,” she replied. “Is it haunted? Seems like everything in Cape May has ghosts running around, or at least that’s what our last guide said.”
Even more than you know, Monty thought, although his grin never wavered. “People claim to have spotted some ghosts nearby, but I don’t think any of them were soldiers. The bunker’s guns never fired, and it didn’t come under attack.”
“You did a nice job with the tour,” the lady said. “Tonight we’re taking a ghost tour. Maybe we’ll get lucky and see some spooky stuff.”
“Good luck,” he answered and hoped he sounded sincere. Monty had been able to see and talk with ghosts all his life, and he knew that most people had no idea what they were asking for by seeking out restless spirits.
She gave him a cheery wave as she left, and several more customers kept him busy until the last of the cars drove away, and the lighthouse was peaceful again.
Monty liked the quiet. He enjoyed spending time with close friends, but being alone didn’t bother him. When he had read a book about a lighthouse keeper as a kid, he’d known right then what he wanted to do.
Unlike the lighthouse in that book, the Cape May Light wasn’t on a desolate, windswept rocky island accessible only by boat. As part of a state park in a touristy beach town, it had plenty of visitors in summer and lots of walkers and birdwatchers strolling the grounds off-season. School groups and tours came to learn about the town’s seafaring history, and Monty loved showing them around the building, answering questions, and tossing in unusual facts.
But at the end of the day, the quiet grounds and empty beach soothed Monty’s soul. He bustled around the public areas of the building, making a quick check for trash or lost items. Then he locked the doors and headed for a stroll on the sand to enjoy the sunset.
