Maine author Jo Ann Simon has recently republished her best-selling novel, “Beloved Captain: A Nantucket Love Story” (Maine Authors Publishing). She will be signing copies of the book at Beyond the Sea in Belfast on Saturday, May 12, from 1 to 4 p.m.
In the novel, Catherine Sternwood retreats from her busy life in California to the Nantucket home she inherited from her grandparents. The 200-year-old house brings her the serenity she craves — and something more. Catherine soon learns she is sharing the house with Lucien Blythe, a wealthy merchant captain who had lived there a century and a half earlier—and had vanished without a trace.
