Author JD Rule has lived most of his life in New England, and has written extensively about the region, both as a novelist and and as a newspaper correspondent. Home is a windswept hilltop in the easternmost community of the United States, a land of sudden fog and sea-smoke, rare but gorgeous sunny days, where fishing remains a primary industry.
