Meet Alissa Arford, author of "Welcome to Seagull Street", at Bethany Beach Books on Wednesday, June 24th at 630pm.

Welcome to Seagull Street

One summer in Ocean City.
Three people trying to start over.
And a past that refuses to stay buried.

A character-driven beach read set in Ocean City, Maryland—perfect for fans of Mary Kay Andrews and Elin Hilderbrand.

What if moving forward meant confronting everything you thought you’d left behind?

Alissa Arford is a Maryland-based writer, marketing communications strategist, and Amazon best-selling author. A University of Maryland “Double Terp,” she earned both her journalism degree and Executive MBA there and spent nearly two decades working at the University.

Welcome to Seagull Street: That Summer in Ocean City, Maryland, is her debut novel, with the next book in the series set for release later in 2026. The cover art was created by local artist Marc Emond of Stinky Beach Studio.
