Fresh off the plane from Paris, artist Aiden Murphy arrives in Mountain Town as the National Park’s spring Artist in Residence.
Aiden quickly discovers the park feels more foreign than a foreign country. It is sparsely populated, rugged and remote, and contains thousands of miles of borderlands, prime territory for illegal crossings, smuggling and trafficking activities.
Artist Aiden meets Lieutenant Jack Harris, National Park Law enforcement officer, who is temporarily assigned to maintain peace and order at the park. Opposites attract, igniting a whirlwind romance.
This is Part One. Mountain Town: Aiden, Part Two will be published April 15, 2025.
