AuthorHouse has released Kristin Mers Henson’s first novel, a Bahamian time-travel mystery that extends the independent publishing house’s focus into commercial fiction.
AuthorHouse has released Kristin Mers Henson’s first novel, “A Touch of Truth: HAVEN: Book 1,” a magical adventure and time-travel mystery set against the natural beauty of the Bahamas. The book follows Kendra Cosgrove, whose return to the fictional Coral Cay turns into a search for answers surrounding an abandoned resort overlooking Starfish Bay. The announcement positions the title as the opening volume of a planned trilogy, making the release both a standalone introduction and the foundation for a longer fictional world.
The story is built around a setting shaped by childhood memory, local folklore and the physical remains of a ruined resort. According to the release, Kendra’s personal visit develops into an investigation of a history more complicated than the stories surrounding the site. The Bahamian landscape, culture and atmosphere provide the backdrop for a narrative that moves between island adventure, mystery, romance and historical fiction.
Henson’s novel explores family, faith, identity, courage and renewal, while linking those themes to the idea that places can preserve parts of the people who love them. The release says the resort’s mystery supports a story spanning generations, with legend and truth placed in tension throughout the narrative. Henson described Coral Cay and the resort as a way to examine how personal history can be held within meaningful places, while keeping the journey grounded in family and human choices.
The publishing details give the book several routes into the market. “A Touch of Truth: HAVEN: Book 1” is listed under ISBN 9798823065429 for the softcover edition, 9798823065436 for the hardcover and 9798823065405 for the electronic edition. The title is available through AuthorHouse, Amazon and Barnes & Noble, giving the release a presence across direct publisher, online retail and bookseller channels.
As the first instalment in the HAVEN trilogy, the book introduces a narrative structure in which the past remains active in the present and a search for understanding leads to consequential discoveries. Henson is originally from Arizona and lives between Bald Head Island, North Carolina, and Long Island, Bahamas; the release also identifies her as an Air Force veteran, former English teacher and mother of two grown children. For AuthorHouse, the announcement marks the arrival of a Bahamas-inspired fiction property whose next chapters are already part of the author’s stated plans.
