Ever since sixteen-year-old Natalie Payson moved away from her hometown of Bernier, Maine, she's had nightmares. And not just the usual ones. These are inside her, pulling her, calling her back, drawing her to a door, a house, a place, a time. Full of fear, full of danger. So this summer, Natalie is going back to Bernier to face up to a few things: the reason she left town in the first place; the boy she's trying hard not to trust; and the door in her dreams. But once she goes through the door, into a murky past, she's entangled in someone else's world. And only Natalie can help right the wrongs of both the past and the present.

Gillian French
Gillian French is the author of three novels for teens: GRIT (HarperTeen, 5/16/2017), THE DOOR TO JANUARY (Islandport Press, 9/5/2017), and THE SUMMER BOYS (HarperTeen, 5/2/2018). Her short fiction has appeared in Odd Tree Press Quarterly, EMP Publishing's anthology Creepy Campfire Stories (for Grownups): Tales of Extreme Horror, Sanitarium Magazine, and The Realm Beyond. She holds a BA in English from the University of Maine, and lives in her native state of Maine with her husband and sons, where she's perpetually at work on her next novel. I write books for young adults and anyone else who wants to read them. I’ve been lucky enough to always know exactly what I want to do with my life: tell stories, preferably ones with a dark or creepy twist. It’s my passion, what’s kept me pounding the keys these past seventeen years even after receiving enough rejection letters to wallpaper my house ten times over. In HarperTeen and Islandport, I’ve found publishers who share my enthusiasm for an engrossing tale, and I’m excited to finally realize my dream of becoming a published novelist for teens and adults. My YA realistic contemporary debut GRIT is due from HarperTeen 5/16/2017, and my YA paranormal novel THE DOOR TO JANUARY is due from Islandport Press 9/5/2017. My short fiction has appeared in Odd Tree Press Quarterly #1, EMP Publishing’s anthology Creepy Campfire Stories (for Grownups): Tales of Extreme Horror, Sanitarium Magazine, and The Realm Beyond. My contest wins include Second Place in the Genre Short Story category of the 2013 Annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition, First Place in the Horror category of the 2012 Writer’s Digest Popular Fiction Awards Competition, and Third Prize in the 2012 Zoetrope: All-Story Short Fiction Contest. I hold a BA in English from the University of Maine, and live in rural Maine with my husband Darren and our son Jeremy. I’m perpetually at work on my next novel.
