Meet the author

Eleanor Hart

Novelist, former archivist, and collector of forgotten stories.

Eleanor Hart spent twenty years as a maritime archivist, cataloguing letters, ship logs, and lighthouse diaries that most people never knew existed. Those quiet voices from the past became the seed of her fiction.

Her debut novel won a regional book award and was named a favorite by several independent bookstores. She writes every morning before sunrise, usually with a pot of strong tea and one of her dogs asleep on her feet.

When she is not writing, Eleanor leads workshops on memoir and historical research. She loves hearing from readers.
