After publishing six how-to books for home-shop machinists, Randolph Bulgin of Franklin has written his first work of fiction.

“Only the house knew” tells the story of family secrets revealed over time and all that the Meade family’s home has witnessed through the years. The story is set in Franklin in the early 1900s and readers will recognize some local names, but Bulgin says the story is fiction.
