My new novel Breakwater is now available.

 You can purchase signed copies from me or look for it and my other books in local bookstores. You can also find my work on Kindle and on Nook Book.

 Check out my recent interview on ArtistFirst Radio and my television appearance on WMTW Channel 8.

Breakwater is the follow-up novel to Sons and Daughters of the Ocean. Both books are part of a three-part series, which will include the upcoming historical novel Sea of Liberty.

Breakwater follows the Miller family generations later after Sons and Daughters of the Ocean. Though not a sequel to my first novel, a few characters make return appearances in Breakwater.

 It is a story of love, faith and tragedy as two members of the Miller family seek to understand the purpose of their lives.

Hal Miller, the son of Albert Miller in Sons and Daughters of the Ocean, is struggling to put his life in perspective. His wife's health is declining. As she descends into madness, he struggles to avoid his own demise. He wonders why his life has to be this way.

His grandson Clark has dreams that are too tired to come true. He has lost his will to find happiness. He fears where that may lead him. When he reconnects with a lost love, everything changes.

Both characters try to understand their destinies but find a power they never imagined.

Like Sons and Daughters of the Ocean, the first person approach of Breakwater takes the reader into the hearts and minds of the characters.

You'll be swept away as the both Millers lead you to the peace amidst their storms.

In other news, Sons and Daughters of the Ocean has a new cover. It is also available on Kindle and Nook Book along with my non fiction work Sidelined.

Check out the reviews, interviews, press and reader comments on the press page.

Historical Novel Review wrote this about Sons and Daughters of the Ocean:

"While the opening portion of this book builds gradually, readers should be encouraged to know that there are genuinely tense scenes later on, as well as some powerfully descriptive and detailed passages about ocean storms and sailing. Kevin C. Mills confidently guides his readers through this nautical tale with an unfailing knowledge of his subject."

The Bangor Daily News review said this about Sons and Daughters of the Ocean.

" Great efforts are made here to bring the world of 19th century seagoing Maine to life. "

The Kennebec Journal said this about Sidelined.

"SIDELINED is Maine sports reporter Kevin Mills' funny and perceptive memoir of his more than 20 years experience on the sports beat, covering everything from football, basketball and hockey, to skiing, auto racing, soccer and sailing."

The New Maine Times review said this about Sidelined.

"These thirty-five short chapters offer fascinating insight into the hectic life of a sports reporter, which as it turns out, is anything but a glamorous job.  It is a job of statistics, egos, quirky personalities, contacts, deadlines, game coverage day and night, in all types of weather, often working for editors who have no appreciation for the demands on a sports reporter's time and effort."
