I am the published author of children’s books, short stories, and women’s fiction. My early work was published under the name Jean Harmeling. Currently, I am working on a creative non-fiction book.
If you’d like to know more about my children’s books, check out the following titles.
The Potter of Charles Street
A coming of age novel about a young girl trying to cope with her dysfunctional family on a small island north of Boston during the 1960’s. When her best friend’s father is killed in the Vietnam War and moves away, Eve finds help and friendship from a potter who shows her the mystery of creating beauty from a lifeless lump of clay.
“Beautiful. Captivating. Poignant. A lovely coming of age tale.”

“…a serial-story excitement, with a random salting of the mystic.”
