Some writers suffer from imposter syndrome, but ambitious twenty-six-year-old journalist Violet Maris was truly an imposter. Using a file of autobiographical stories written by a cooperating friend, she secured a residency at a prestigious artists/writers colony in Provincetown, Massachusetts in the mid-1980s, hoping to use her experiences there to write a riveting exposé of the place, thereby launching a successful journalistic career.
Early in the book, Violet describes how, since childhood, she has been able to sense when something of note is about to happen to her by the temperature of inanimate objects that she touches. She accepts this phenomenon as if it were one of her ordinary senses, and its occurrence signals important events in her story.

"Diane Wald's concise narrative and character-driven plot make this novel a joy. With a colorful
combination of humor, romance, drama, and intrigue, the pages of The Bayrose Files fly past
effortlessly. I finished the book in a single sitting and enjoyed every moment. Wald's dry humor
hit all the right notes for me, and I found myself unexpectedly chuckling out loud at multiple
points in the story. The dialogue is witty, and all the character interactions feel organic. I love
how Wald makes Violet such a dynamic and layered character in a few pages. Overall, this was a
very entertaining reading experience, and I highly recommend this book."
