The Great Lakes Saga
I have always thought that the Great Lakes region, beautiful and rich with history, would provide the perfect place to set stories. My approach for the 5-book saga is to tell one story set on or around each Great Lake. Don’t let the different genres dissuade you. The books are all summer reads full of drama, tension, betrayal, murder, lust, romance, mystery, and suspense.
Note: Hampstead, Michigan and Shelter Harbor, Michigan are fictional places—as are some of the islands that I put in my novels to serve the stories—but, if you are from Michigan, they will have a familiar feel.

-The Cabin (Lake Ontario-Espionage Thriller)
-The Hike (Lake Erie-Crime Thriller)
-The Bay (Lake Michigan-Action Adventure)

Featured Work
Just before Christmas, up-and-coming New York City advertising executive Jean Noel Mercer arrives in a Michigan town to sell the house of her late, estranged grandmother before vacationing in Greece with a crush: her rich and powerful co-worker, Urian Nikolaidhts.
After a snowstorm strands her in a log cabin owned by her grandmother’s best friend, Jean learns her family’s secret past and meets park ranger Scott Brady, ultimately forcing her to choose between him and Urian—while rediscovering a part of herself that she thought was lost forever.
Get ready for a heartwarming and heartbreaking holiday tale.
"Snow is thrilling fiction, gripping and sexy, with twists and turns charged with the effects of human fallibility and the consequences of paths not taken. It is as page-turning as Beach's most suspense-filled action chillers—from the first sentence, I was all in."
—Pamela Dillman, actor and audiobook narrator
"Snow is a heartwarming holiday novel about the family we're born into, the friendships that sustain us, and the detours in life that can change everything. Reading it had me thinking of the joy found in family traditions and community connections. It is incredibly touching and engaging, with charming characters and a reminder that love can find you when you least expect it."
—Ali Gifford, audiobook narrator and voiceover artist
"Landon Beach's Snow is a richly detailed, evocative love story to Christmas. The changing points of view from character to character keep the plot fresh and perceptions satisfyingly entwined. No spoilers, but the ending both surprises and delights. Snow is deliciously entertaining and vivid. A perfect book for the holiday season."
—Becky London, actor, audiobook narrator, and coach
"Landon Beach, known for his compelling thrillers, flexes his 'Hallmark Christmas Special' writing muscle and spins a moving story of a fractured family, emotionally distant parents, and a young woman with an unrealized dream of a music career. Jean Mercer throws herself into the high-stakes, high-glitz, and fast-paced world of New York City's marketing industry, where she can forget who she is and cloak herself in wealth. Then, on a trip to rural Michigan at Christmastime to oversee the sale of her deceased grandmother's house, a historic snowstorm strands her with strangers, and Jean begins to see herself with wide-eyed clarity. A master of plot twists, Beach serves up some surprises in Snow, a gentle, feel-good holiday tale."
—Anne Marie Lewis, actor, singer, and audiobook narrator
"Snow is indeed a warm, feel-good, and thoughtful holiday page-turner, but it is so much more! It is a story of triumph over loss, the struggle between the trappings of success and the insight to consider the long-term consequences of our decisions. Beach has a way with inner dialogue, a powerfully intimate POV that kept me engaged, and his knowledge of the Montana, New York, Michigan, and Santa Barbara regions had the meticulous detail of a local. If Snow were a movie, it would feel like it was shot in real time, capturing the nuance of the human condition and the dance of dropping one's long-curated guard to allow love and vulnerability in once again. An a-ha, Sliding Doors type twist at the end is not to be missed. Every book from this prolific author has held a refreshing surprise, so immersive that it has left me wanting more!"
—Claudia Dunn, actor, audiobook narrator, and voice actor
“Landon Beach has entertained us as a master of suspense with many previous novels. In Snow, he creates suspense of a different kind, one involving family secrets, hoping to find and fall in love with the right people, and the keys to self-discovery. What better time and place to ‘find’ oneself than when snowed in during a Michigan blizzard? The central character, Jean, is a strong but pained hard-charging executive whom you will definitely root for to make the right choices as Beach offers up a fascinating cast of supporting characters, some loving and helpful, others downright dangerous. Reading this novel as Jean negotiates her emotional journey is both suspenseful and entertaining!”
—Jordan Rich, WBZ Radio Boston, iHeart Media
“Landon Beach, the master of thrillers, is now also the king of human emotions, of the human condition. Snow is outstanding from start to finish. Don’t miss this experience—have tissues available.”
—Wendi Flint Rank, top NetGalley reviewer
