Dancing
I'm having so much fun with this one. I have been searching out period correct options where there can be dancing to an orchestra. Below is a Gallopade which surely looks fun. You will also find an Imperial waltz, a wedding waltz, a mellow two step as well as the Charleston, Jazz and the lindy hop. Dont worry guys there are still plenty of boats and the automobile is out and a good old fist fight as the men in the O'Hara clan expand.

Coming 2026- Scent of a Beach rose
In the third and final book of the Casco Bay series, Camilla Scholte is coming home from working abroad. It is the time period leading up to the roaring twenties. An indulgent socialite, she has settled in Cape Elizabeth near the Cape Cottage Casino and the theater there. She is now working for the provocative Harper’s Bazaar magazine out of New York. Her first assignment is to do a piece on the amusing antics that occur at the resorts along the Maine coast.
