PORT TOWNSEND — Port Townsend author Carole Marshall has released her second novel, “Reading to Jane.”

In three interwoven parts, the novel deals with a grandfather’s and grandson’s cross-country camping trip to Washington, including daily readings to an urn of ashes and encounters with an ex-convict, an obese couple and a hobo.

The book is available in e-book format through Amazon.com and via a direct link at www.carolemarshallstudio.com.

Marshall is a former Peninsula Daily News columnist and has written feature stories and health articles for American Profile magazine, including an article on Lopez Island.

Her nonfiction book, “Maximum Fitness-Minimum Risk,” was published in 2005, and her first novel, “Dearest,” was released in 2011.
