In The Mists of Time

"A promising young painter, Hawkins Shortreed,
and his friend, a gifted sculptor, happen upon
an abandoned seaside farm. The stately Eighteenth Century
farmhouse, a barn, an overgrown graveyard, a contending
granite cliff and the surging ocean create strong illusions
of past time and ghosts of past lives. How unsuspecting
the artists are of the mystery and the danger attached to
this idyllic property two and a quarter centuries before...
mystery and danger which they stumble into.

As bits of the mystery come together, so do misty hints of
a legendary treasure which induces a burgeoning threat of
danger at the hand of a powerful adversary.

The remarkable reappearance of Hawkinsâ childhood
sweetheart blossoms into more than romance. She
becomes the innocent means of involving the two artists
with others, some good and some less so, who all play
important roles in their lives and involve them in the fate
of a beautiful forest.

Can the forest be saved? Can they solve the mystery and
survive the clandestine physical danger and machinations
secretly threatened by a powerful foe?

Follow these youthful, inexperienced artists as the present
interweaves with the past and their innocent guilelessness
is entwined by menacing evil.

Dr. Baldwin practiced medicine in New England for 32 years, the last 16, prior to his retirement, in Maine. He and his wife Roberta skied the lovely mountains of New Hampshire and Maine and in their small sailboat, spent countless happy days in the Atlantic Ocean off the Maine Coast. Together, they spent many years designing, engineering and building their rustic home on 30 wooded acres. Dr. Baldwin has published several medical articles and has recently turned his hand to works of general interest. "The Gibbs' Place Mystery" is the first work to exit "the pipeline" of his imagination.
