Symbolism and Secret Societies Feature Prominently in Tom D. Welsh’s Debut Fiction
Central to the novel is the presence of “The Knights of the Octagon,” a covert group whose influence spans centuries and whose objectives intertwine with the novel’s recurring motif: a light emanating from a coastal lighthouse.
The novel employs a dual narrative, oscillating between present-day experiences and deep-rooted historical flashbacks. These transitions are facilitated through documents, relics, and oral histories passed down across generations. The lighthouse in Marshall Point serves as the physical and spiritual epicenter of these explorations.
The Lighthouse, seen once a year on November 15th, represents the convergence of memory, prophecy, and destiny. This mysterious event draws individuals and groups toward the lighthouse, each interpreting the phenomenon according to their beliefs. For Henry, The Lighthouse signifies a call to reckon with past trauma and seek renewal.
The character’s struggle is mirrored by those of others, such as a distant Marine named Charlie and his comrade Frank, whose storyline eventually converges with Henry’s. Their narratives emphasize that personal and collective redemption are often linked.
The novel’s symbolic elements include marked bodies, mythic artifacts, and repeated references to time and tide. These motifs support the underlying suggestion that humanity’s spiritual and physical histories are intertwined, waiting to be uncovered by those who dare to look.
The Lighthouse is published by Tom D Welsh Productions and marks the first of a planned series. The work has been positioned within the niche of visionary fiction, appealing to readers interested in spiritual journeys framed through fictional narratives.
The novel is currently available in digital and print formats via independent distributors.
