Around the Fire Book and Author Blog Coming Home.

I have a confession. I doom scroll. That means I find myself scrolling through videos much longer than I should. I find most TV and movies no longer capture my attention, and I find myself reading and scrolling interchangeably. The videos that capture my attention, in no particular order, are

• Owls'
• Goats
• Homesteading
• Cooking
• And Families reuniting.

Red Gate Farm has many of these themes in it.
Scenes from my life. Conversations around the fire. People I've met. I hope as you read it you will be able to identify with my characters and their struggles but mostly their triumphs. 

​Red Gate Farm
by
D. V. Stone​
A heartwarming tale of second chances and the healing power of coming home.

​Nestled in the countryside on the outskirts of Lake Unami, Little Flower Ranch is more than just a patch of land—it’s Addie Martin’s whole world. Her dogs, goats, and horses, both rescued and boarded, know her better than most people do. A life built with grit and rooted in compassion. Until Addie’s peaceful life is thrown into turmoil by a man from her past, with a government notice that threatens to take it all away.
Henry Price never planned to come back to Red Gate Farm, but after losing his job and his sense of purpose, the old homestead near Lake Unami calls him back to the place where he grew up surrounded by love and family. But the simpler life may not be so simple when your family introduces you to a woman who has troubles of her own.  
Lake Unami has its own quiet magic, the kind that works through neighbors, animals, and special guardians. As Addie and Henry navigate old wounds and new beginnings, they’ll discover that sometimes the smallest towns hold the biggest miracles… especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

I hope you will enjoy reading Red Gate Farm. It is available for pre-order at

​I hope you enjoy reading Henry and Addie's story as much as I did writing it. If you've been following life in Lake Unami, you'll be happy to see this magical community come together.
Albert's advice below isn't just for Addie. It's something I need to remind myself of from time to time.
