Stories from Portland Point
​
Stories from Portland Point is a concept fictional series where all the books share the same setting and characters weave in and out of each story. Each story has its own unique tone, ranging from thriller to historical fiction, from adventure to psychological.
Portland Point is a fictional town located on the Jersey Shore and contains many places where author Michael D. Gannon grew up and still lives. Mike has spent much time researching information to make each story uniquely realistic.
This project began as a collaborative effort with lifelong friend and fellow author Eamon Murray. Together, Eamon and Mike have created a universe with similar characters, settings, and intertwining themes.
