🌊 The little details matter.

When I write Newport into the Coastal Escape Series, I want it to feel like more than a backdrop. It’s the harbor lights at dusk, familiar streets, the changing weather, the sound of boats in the water, and the seasonal traditions that make the city feel alive.

Those details may seem small, but they’re what help a setting feel real—and what make Newport feel almost like another character in the story.

It’s one of my favorite parts of writing this series. 💙
