A Between Book by Australian author Foster Burton
He lives alone with his dog. Two miles offshore. And a thousand miles from the life he once had.
Vincent is the last keeper of a remote island lighthouse. With only his border collie, Margy, for company, he tends the kerosene flame through wild storms and long, silent nights, doing everything he can to keep the loneliness at bay.
But when a rare occurrence offers the spark of something new, Vincent is left with a choice he can’t ignore:
Does he honour his late wife’s memory… or throw caution to the wind for a second chance?

P.S. —
You’re probably wondering why I am giving away a copy of my eBook for free.
If I were you, I would be wondering the same thing.
The reason is simple: I’m a young author just starting out in my career — a nobody on the shelves, if you will.
All I want is to show you what I can do.
That’s it.
No shenanigans, no spam. Just a good old yarn about Vincent, the lighthouse keeper, and a hope that you’ll want to read more of my stories.
Cheerio for now 👋
