The Eastern: Book One: The Early Years

hosted by Bill Silver.

In the early 1800s, five families settle on the Eastern River in Pittston, Maine. Together, they build a strong and lasting neighborhood, an agricultural community based on New England values of cooperation and reciprocity. Both fiction and social history, The Eastern flows through the experiences and truths we share with those who have lived before us. 
An excerpt from The Eastern won the 2014 Maine Literary Award for Short Works--Fiction.

Her latest book, an historical  novel takes place in E. Pittston, on the road to Augusta. Members can read the book before her appearance. It is found on Amazon and probably in the Maine Coast Bookstore.
