After thinking about the potential characters for years, Ann Heyse is happy to finally introduce you to them. The owner of the Baileys Harbor-based Sand Beach Press recently released her first novel, “The Light is Ours.” The book is based on fictional lighthouse keepers in 1870s Door County. Although it is her first novel, it is not her first book as she has already published two children’s books and one collection of her poetry. Heyse says the writing process was different but enjoyable and she is happy that these characters were finally put to paper.

Even though there are still some stories that could be told with the characters featured in “The Light is Ours,” Heyse says she is undecided on penning a sequel at this time. You can purchase “The Light is Ours” directly from Sand Beach Press and from select retailers in the county.
