Fleeing New York City and an abusive partner, would-be writer Marc Nugent finds work at HomePort, the Provincetown mansion of Lola Staunton, a fabulously wealthy recluse. Aided by an attractive-but-unattainable artist and an all-too-available cross-dresser, Marc investigates accusations of rape and murder that have estranged Lola from a childhood friend for more than sixty years. Past and present converge when a long-lost journal reveals tales of infidelity, adultery, and passion that mirror the life Marc has recently abandoned. When his ex-lover arrives in search of revenge, Marc must confront his past, his notions of family, and his capacity for love.

The HomePort Journals A Provincetown Literary Mystery
Writer Marc Nugent escapes New York City and arrives in Provincetown in search of peace and inspiration. Instead, he plunges into an unexpected world of eccentric personalities, long-held secrets, and compelling mysteries at the storied HomePort mansion. Tasked with unraveling a decades-old mystery involving Captain Staunton’s tragic past and a young woman who vanished into legend, Marc discovers more than hidden truths—he finds friendship, authenticity, and a chance at unexpected love.
Blending witty dialogue, vibrant characters, and the atmospheric charm of Provincetown, The HomePort Journals captures the joys and complexities of chosen families, redemption, and self-discovery. Rich with warmth and emotional resonance, this novel explores LGBTQ+ themes, the power of reconciliation, and the transformative magic of loving friends.
Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven literary fiction, humorous mysteries, and stories celebrating the complexities of identity and relationships.

About the Author
He's always been fascinated by moments where a single decision can change a person's life for better or worse. The family we create, or as Armistead Maupin calls it, "the logical family," plays an important part in many of his stories. A. C.'s literary icons run the gamut from Agatha Christie to Walter Mosely, Patrick Dennis to Thomas H. Cook, and Jane Austin to Bart Yates.
His debut novel was The HomePort Journals (Wilde City Press 2015), set in his hometown of Provincetown, Massachusetts. This tale of marginalized characters who unite to form a family of their own received rave reviews and was Authors Talk About It (ATAI) Grand Prize Winner for 2016. His book of short stories, A Book of Revelations (HomePort Press 2016) was a 2017 International Press Awards "Distinguished Favorite."
A Provincetown resident since 1987, A. C. lives in 130-year-old Cape with commanding views of the harbor and is seldom found without Dori, a young golden retriever who keeps him company in his writing shed. He's fortunate to be able to split his time between Provincetown, MA, and SouthBeach, FL, two beautiful places that never cease to inspire him.
