Book Description
Amidst the relentless turmoil of a remote and storm-battered island, where tempestuous waves relentlessly assail rugged cliffs, a story of extraordinary love unfolds. In this untamed landscape, where the elements rage in symphony, dwells Hanna, a resolute lighthouse keeper who has found purpose in taming the very tempests that lash the desolate shores. One fateful day, destiny's capricious hand intervenes, delivering a shipwrecked sailor into Hanna's care. Santana, an enigmatic figure with no recollection of his past, emerges from the wreckage like a blank canvas awaiting the brushstrokes of forgotten experiences. As Hanna nurses Santana back to health and aids him in piecing together the fragments of his lost life, an unspoken bond takes root between them. Their vulnerabilities converge, and in each other's presence, they find solace transcending the constraints of language, time, and memory. Together, they embark on a journey through the island's wild beauty, unearthing concealed treasures amidst the untamed terrain. Amid moments of tenderness and understanding, they uncover the profound comfort that accompanies shared experiences. Yet, beneath the surface of their burgeoning connection lurk the shadows of Santana's missing memories. As their lives entwine like the turbulent currents of the sea, they are unable to evade the specter of Santana's forgotten past. Confronting the secrets that could rend them asunder, they grapple with their deepest apprehensions. Their choices will determine whether the unbreakable bond they've nurtured will endure the trials they face, or if it will fracture irreparably. "The Lighthouse Keeper's Love" weaves a narrative of tenacity, absolution, and the enduring potency of love to serve as a guiding light through the bleakest hours. Join us on an odyssey brimming with emotions as tumultuous as gusting winds, and a love that radiates as luminously as the beacon from the lighthouse's tower.

Book Description
An Amazon Charts bestseller. Dawn Conners's parents are famous for finding historic treasures, but she has a knack for losing things--her job, her boyfriend, and now, her reputation. Thanks to a mud-slinging exposé, Dawn's late great-grandfather is assumed guilty of stealing silver from a century-old shipwreck. Hoping to clear his name, Dawn returns to Starlight Cove, her idyllic hometown on Lake Michigan, where the doomed vessel sleeps beneath the beam of a ramshackle lighthouse. Her plan: remodel and sell the lighthouse while untangling the perplexing family mystery. Neither task is easy, especially once her well-meaning parents and the quirky locals--including nautical researcher and Starlight Cove's most eligible bachelor, Kip Whittaker--get involved. Despite their attraction, Dawn is reluctant to trust Kip, or any of the close-knit townsfolk. But as she pieces together the truth, Dawn's once-shuttered heart opens up. And if she's willing, the lighthouse might guide her to a place she never expected to find, where the past entwines with a bright new beginning.

Book Description
A beautiful memoir from John Cook, one of Tasmania's last kerosene lighthouse keepers. A story about madness and wilderness, shining a light onto the vicissitudes of love and nature. In Tasmania, John Cook is known as: 'The Keeper of the Flame'. John's renowned as one of the last of the "kerosene keepers": he spent a good part of his 26-year career in Tasmanian lighthouses tending kerosene, not electrical, lamps. He joined the lighthouse service in 1969, after a spell in the merchant marine. Far from reviling work on isolated islands such as Tasman and Maatsuyker, Australia's southernmost lighthouse, he discovered that he loved the solitude and delighted in the sense of purpose that light keeping gave him. He did two stints on Tasman, in 1969-71 and 1977, and was the head keeper on Maatsuyker for eight years. Tasman's kerosene light was a pressure lamp fuelled by two big bottles that had to be pumped up to 75 pounds per square inch (about 516 kilopascals): "It was the equivalent of pumping up a tyre every 20 minutes," John says. "Then you had to wind up the weights - they went down the tower and turned the prism around like a big clockwork. If the weights went all the way to the bottom, the light would stop. "The main thing was that 365 nights of the year you sat in that tower, 100 feet up, and you had to stay awake," John says of Tasman. "If you fell asleep the light would stop and then you were in trouble." Keepers took watches around the clock, in a system similar to that on a ship. Day watches weren't a chance to slack off: standing orders required the watchkeeper to look seawards at least every half-hour and to log sightings of any vessels, and their course, in the area. "But the main thing was there was always maintenance to do," John says. "Because Mother Nature was your boss. She'd blow gutters off, that sort of thing - she was always stickin' her bib in, and you were repairin' it." Tasman keepers also ran a herd of up to 500 sheep. They didn't have a freezer, so they'd kill and dress a sheep every fortnight. John supplemented his bulk stores, delivered every three months by the lighthouse supply vessel, with extras brought on the bi-monthly mail boat, and by keeping chooks, ducks and turkeys. "I never ran out of things to do," he says. "In my free time I used to do correspondence courses - I did navigation, diesel mechanics, business management and accounting." In 1977, keepers left the Tasman quarters forever. "I've got such strong memories of those places with people in them, and kids' voices rattlin' around," John says. "It breaks my heart to think about those places sittin' out there empty with no lights on."
