Author Rhonda Bulmer reading from The Widow & The Will

In “The Widow & the Will”, Lindy Hall’s career and life plans are disrupted when her beloved Grandma passes and leaves her an old inn on the Fundy shores in New Brunswick. She leaves Toronto to visit and learns that locals say the inn is haunted by the grieving widow of its first owner. Lindy meets the proprietors who, facing bankruptcy, prove secretive and contentious. To add to her emotional turmoil, Lindy encounters the widow’s ghost stalking the halls of the inn in the dead of night. When a handsome tour operator catches Lindy’s attention and introduces her to the wonders of the Fundy’s tides, her life turns upside down. Drama, romance and spectral encounters abound, making The Widow & The Will a book readers cannot put down. Rhonda Bulmer lives in Moncton, New Brunswick. She has published three fiction books independently, and in 2023, her short fiction appeared in the anthology, Monsters in the Fog.
