I'm happy to host the awesomely talented Julie Flanders today. I've been lucky to have read THE GHOSTS OF AQUINNAH already and I loved it! I'll be posting my review for it tomorrow. Here Julie is to share with you a great top ten list.
Thanks for having me here at your blog, Christine! I am here to share my favorite things about the island of Martha's Vineyard, which is the setting for my novel The Ghosts of Aquinnah. I can never resist a Top Ten List!

About The Ghosts of Aquinnah:
Blurb:
A brilliant flash of light transcends through time.
Another freezes a cloaked figure within a frame of salty mist as
waves crash against a rocky shore. Her harrowing expression shadows the beacon
to a pinprick.
By the next blaze, she is gone. Only the lighthouse remains.
Hannah’s eyes blink in step with each heartbeat. Images of her
deceased parents and Martha’s Vineyard explode like firecrackers inside her
mind.
She shakes her head.
For weeks this eerie woman
dressed in nineteenth century garb has been haunting my webcam, but tonight she
stared into my soul.
Why? ...
Who is she? ...
Casting aside months of research on historic lighthouses, Hannah
drives to the coast and boards a ferry.
What is the strange connection she has to this mysterious woman
suspended in time?
Hannah finds out.
But, it’s not at all what she expects ...
Hannah unravels a century old murder.
