Beyond the book · The Harbormaster Mysteries

The books end. The harbor doesn't.

Channel 16 is the radio every boat in Kettle Harbor keeps on. It's running before you arrive — a boat hailing the harbormaster for a berth, the fuel dock, somebody reporting a light out on a channel marker. You don't press play. You tune in and catch whatever traffic is already on the air.

Channel 16 in AudioForge Studio: the Kettle Harbor chart beside the Harbor Office window and the radio — Channel 16 as it looks when you open it: the chart of Kettle Harbor, the Harbor Office window, and the radio.

A place, not a playlist

Everything about Channel 16 is built to feel like a harbor that goes on without you.

The chart is real to the booksEvery place on the chart of Kettle Harbor is somewhere in the novels. When traffic comes from a place, that place lights up while you hear it.

It keeps your hoursThe Harbor Office window follows your own clock — dawn, day, dusk or night. Turn up at eleven at night and the office is dark except the radio.

Different every timeThe exchanges are shuffled, with static and quiet stretches between them the way a real channel has. Leave, come back tomorrow, and you'll hear different traffic.

Why it exists

Finish a book and keep the place.

The Harbormaster Mysteries follow a harbormaster with no badge in a small working harbor. Channel 16 lets you keep listening to that harbor between books — the boats, the names, the routine calls that make the rare urgent one land.

It's free for everyone. You don't need an account to tune in.
