A lifetime of deference and masked inner-feelings has blinded him to the truth in others, even as those truths emerge onto the canvas of his paintings. The sudden death of his estranged father brings Corey downriver to his hometown of Pepin, Wisconsin, where he confronts past and present torments. The taunting inheritance of a pair of hunting rifles from his dead father, together with a lukewarm reunion with his mother, launches an unraveling of the tenuous ties binding Corey’s life together. The inheritance delivers Corey and his husband, Nick, to the Fischer family cabin in northern Wisconsin during hunting season where they head into the woods with loaded guns and years of simmering resentment. Emotions explode as the couple tracks a wounded eight-point buck at dusk and as Nick’s betrayals are accidentally revealed. Corey makes a series of panicked, life-defining choices that propel him to flee the trail of destruction his life has wrought and to seek comfort from those who loved him all along. https://www.elliottfoster.com/whispering-pines daily 0.75 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/1642bbe8-dba8-4e49-90f2-c30a814e3fed/Foster_Pines_cvr.jpg WHISPERING PINES - SYNOPSIS In September 1993, four generations of the Travis family gather to celebrate the 80th birthday of their matriarch, Isabelle. Reflecting on their experiences at the rustic family cabin set on a lake in the Chippewa National Forest, they talk of fishing for walleye, cooking the perfect beef roast, pulling pranks, making love, and living life abundantly over eighty years. Simultaneously heart-warming and heartbreaking, the stories told by Isabelle, her daughter Ruth, and her grandson Eddie slowly unwrap secrets long held by the family, tucked away deep in the Minnesota North Woods and in their memories. Come home with the Travis family and listen in as they tell you about everything from the hardships of building and maintaining a cabin, to the colorful characters ringing Lake Dunbar, and the bittersweet promise of changing traditions. https://www.elliottfoster.com/retrieving daily 0.75 2022-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/cc53b624-a897-4220-81fa-34a330115c82/RETRIEVING_02.jpeg RETRIEVING - ELLIOTT’S FIRST BOOK In this heartwarming tale, Kai the Minnesota-born yellow Labrador retriever recounts how she and her two dads adopted her human brothers.

The only true constants are his best friend Billy, his mother Ginny, and frequent, troubling dreams about the shootings he ran from and for which Corey was never held to account. Now living in California, Corey passionately paints landscapes in the style of Edward Hopper, while seeing his life and his surroundings more clearly and generating award-winning art. Another life change surprises Corey as well—an unexpected romance with a younger man, Miguel. This is a relationship that will challenge Corey to finally become a person of complete honesty, both with those he loves and also with himself. The fraught and fractured past Corey ran from four years earlier eventually catches up with him in unforeseen ways, dragging Corey back to the Midwest for a reckoning with his unresolved former life—healing his estrangement from long-time friend and once-lover Carol, settling scores with his twenty-year partner Nick, and confronting the guilt and responsibility for the accidental killing a trucker with whom Corey had a regrettable one-night tryst. Other unexpected discoveries and life changes revealed while he toils in the Midwest will forever after affect Corey’s life as well as those he loves the most. Yet through it all, Corey’s personal journey toward healing, honesty, understanding, and love will carry him along the path of becoming a man, and to places from which he no longer needs to run. https://www.elliottfoster.com/news daily 0.75 2024-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/83b8fbaa-e7db-4330-afce-3916290b9f72/SISYPHUS_LOGO_03.png NEWS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/1704989626317-NMKX235J9AFOWWG8OH32/EF_THUMBNAIL_01.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/b4d978cd-949d-4705-bfb4-97e89693241b/OVERFLOW_LOGO_01.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/81d63183-c0da-4414-9c1e-04f35d3b74c1/OVERFLOW_COFFEE_01.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/a4ea3069-84ca-4aa3-83c6-9cca6c1077aa/AWP_LOGO_01.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/1704989626317-NMKX235J9AFOWWG8OH32/EF_THUMBNAIL_01.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/01821aa4-2eb7-491f-be9e-7ea141051aa5/S_S_LOGO_01.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/ee8837d3-1a70-4be0-a931-3151be4a041d/SAINTS_SINNERS_02.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/8339a411-68e6-4cd5-a3c7-73b7cc5a8c0b/SFBFEST_01.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/9959da6b-f73f-4d71-8f99-992a2cc0533c/SS_WEBSITE_GRAB_01.jpg NEWS - Make it stand out (click above for festival info) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/6207df79-dad4-4408-ac5f-99dc6cb93fea/LMB_logo.png NEWS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/629c4c38-fa3a-405f-a3ce-1eef08f14919/LMB_HOMEPAGE.jpg NEWS - Make it stand out (click for directions to Lake Monster Brewing) https://www.elliottfoster.com/other-writing daily 0.75 2022-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/d2ef1554-fe07-41fb-b35a-7b1a29622009/RETRIEVING_02resize.jpg OTHER WRITING - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/a382ab93-5b43-437e-9969-d178d2320734/Reckoning-COVERfrnt.jpg OTHER WRITING - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/7a25e5dd-10e8-4a89-92b9-1ff26a2cf8fa/Foster_Pines_cvr_resize.jpg OTHER WRITING - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/79230a65-310c-483c-b6ec-ef2490ac820c/PANIC_RIVER_COVER.jpg OTHER WRITING - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.elliottfoster.com/destiny-springs-home daily 1.0 2024-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/2241bb4c-a183-4c21-8c10-2c0c1861fc12/DSPRNGS_LOGOG_01.png DESTINY SPRINGS HOME - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620ffa92857b8829ad90170e/32984d9d-c30e-49df-b58e-550d61a50d83/DS_COVER_01.jpg DESTINY SPRINGS HOME - THE THIRD AND CONCLUDING BOOK IN THE PANIC RIVER TRILOGY What should have been a beautiful proposal of marriage for Corey Flanagan atop the Hermosa Beach Pier turns deadly when the widow of the man Corey killed shows up with a loaded gun.
