Author Bio from The Lighthouse Back Home: Jodi Auborn became interested in lighthouses and the ocean when she was fifteen years old and went on her first vacation to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Since then, she has made several trips to Monhegan Island and other small towns in coastal Maine, all of which inspired the setting for the fictional town of Salvation Point. In 2014, Jodi released her novel Matthias: The Ghost of Salvation Point, in which Dylan began his adventures at his family’s haunted lighthouse. Following numerous requests for more stories featuring Matthias and Dylan, the concept of a time-travel novel was developed, and The Lighthouse Back Home was released in 2023. She has also written Stormwind of the North Country and Secrets in the North Country, adventure novels set in New York State’s Adirondack Mountains, and a memoir titled My Ten-Acre Wilderness.
