Lake House Books Announces the Release of
Candles in the Cabin by Local Author Sarah Phillips Pellet

Highland Lakes, NJ – Author and part-time Highland Lakes resident Sarah Phillips Pellet has written a children’s book titled, Candles in the Cabin, released today from Trafford Publishing.

            The book is written from the perspective of a young boy who finds himself thrust into darkness when the lights suddenly go out at his family’s cabin. What follows is a whimsical tale of why the lights go out, alternative lighting options, and all the fun things people can do when power goes out.

            “The idea for the book came about one night when we found ourselves in this very situation for many hours,” said the book’s author, Sarah Phillips Pellet. “My youngest son, who was five at the time, was scared and full of questions about why the lights go out. My husband and I started off with the fact-based answers and then our older son started coming up with silly reasons for why the lights go out. We had a lot of fun that night and the book wrote itself after that.”

            Candles in the Cabin is set at Highland Lakes and includes many familiar characters to residents of this lake community: the Great Blue Heron, American Bald Eagle, and Brown Bear to name but a few.

            The book is illustrated by professional graphic artist Raul Gonzalez. “Raul and I worked together for many months to come up with the look and feel of the book. His interpretation of the characters and landscape added a vivid and vibrant dimension to the story,” said Ms. Phillips Pellet.

            Sarah Phillips Pellet is a business writer and owner of Stepping Stone Communications, a small business communications’ firm. She lives with her husband and two sons in New Jersey.

Review copies of Candles in the Cabin are available upon request. The 22-page soft cover book retails for $11.95 and is available at www.lakehousebooks.com, direct from the publisher at www.trafford.com, as well as from major on-line book sellers.
