The Long Road Home: A Contemporary Crime Fiction Mystery by Carolyn Bowen

Hello, wonderful readers!

I’m thrilled to share an exciting journey with you that has captivated my imagination and brought to life an incredible story of courage, mystery, and discovery. Allow me to introduce you to my novel, The Long Road Home —a contemporary crime fiction mystery that promises to take you on a thrilling ride through unexpected twists and turns.

In The Long Road Home, we meet Kate, a young woman whose world is turned upside down after the tragic loss of her parents. Accustomed to a life of comfort and protection, she suddenly finds herself entangled in a web of deceit, family secrets, and dangerous adversaries. As she navigates through this new reality, Kate must uncover hidden truths, face potent enemies, and make life-altering decisions.

The Long Road Home was inspired by my love for adventure and exploration. Through my travels, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing different cultures and meeting fascinating people, all of which have infused my writing with rich detail and authenticity. In this novel, I’ve woven together a tapestry of suspense and emotion, drawing from my experiences to create a thrilling and deeply personal story.

Kate’s journey begins in Charleston and takes her to the serene coastal estate of Seagrove, Florida, where she hopes to find peace. But as family secrets unravel, she is thrust into a world of danger. From a conniving fiancé to a powerful businessman with terrorist ties, Kate’s challenges are formidable. She discovers unexpected allies in Jake, a contractor; Avery, a government spy; and Nap, a local girl with secrets. Together, they navigate the treacherous waters of deception and betrayal.

The Long Road Home is not just a suspense story; it’s a story of resilience and the strength of the human spirit. It’s about finding hope and love in the most unexpected places and the courage to face the unknown.

I invite you to dive into Kate’s world and experience her journey firsthand. Uncover the conspiracies, feel the tension, and celebrate the triumphs. The Long Road Home is available now, and I encourage you to grab your copy today. Join me on this suspenseful ride, and let’s explore the mysteries together.

Happy reading!

A Change Is Coming ~ Fall 2021

Quote of the Day: Summer is dancing away as the leaves change into mosaic colors as a reminder of the season’s end leaving only memories of days gone by. CM Bowen

Autumn: A Transition Season

The annual seasonal changes are a reminder that nothing remains the same. Today, September 22nd at 3:20 pm EST is the autumnal equinox marking the first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s an exciting time to breathe in the freshness of the crisp fall air and relax with a pumpkin spice latte while reading your favorite book.

What happens during the equinox?

The sun crosses the Earth’s equator at the time of the equinox, from the Northern Hemisphere into the Southern Hemisphere. During the autumnal equinox, day and night are balanced to about 12 hours each all across the world. The Earth’s tilt causes the change in season with the Northern Hemisphere beginning to feel the chill of fall after the warmth of summer.

Daylight in the Northern Hemisphere becomes shorter leading up to the winter solstice in December. The polar opposite happens in the Southern Hemisphere, where daylight will gradually grow longer until that hemisphere’s summer solstice in December.

Relax and Enjoy the Season

Grab your blanket, and your favorite beverage to make this season special by reading romantic mystery-thrillers by Carolyn Bowen. Here are some to whet your appetite for more!
