Hi, I’m Jeannette.
I’m a storyteller; I write novels and poetry to share stories I think are important. I also host a radio program on the arts and am a local theatre critic.
I also help others share their stories:
I write interesting copy for organizations and companies
I help authors through ghostwriting and editing
I teach writers through mentoring, events, and classes
Sydney Riley Series
Set against the rich backdrop of life on the Outer Cape, this series weaves historical and little-known details about the community into well-plotted mysteries.
Martine LeDuc Series
The past is never completely buried… and comes back to strike the present in this series of mysteries set in the unique bicultural city of Montréal.
Historical Fiction
Whether it describes Paris in the early 1300s or Cape Cod in the 1940s, these books bring the past and its myriad fascinating characters to life.
Other Work
Here’s a little of everything: nonfiction (as part of DreamTime’s Open Your Heart series), essays, short stories, and standalone novels, most of them under noms de plume.
Services
All my services revolve around storytelling. We know that stories are memorable; they imprint themselves on our minds and sometimes even hearts. So whether it’s a novel, a corporate publication, or a nonfiction project, I’m here to help you tell your story in the most compelling way possible.
Ghostwriting
Your story, told in your voice, with respect and efficiency
Editing
From copyediting to critiquing to developmental work and rewrites
Copywriting
Copywriting, content, and creative direction for your brand
Instruction
Whether it’s a class, a mentoring relationship, an author talk, or a chance to gather with other writers, I love facilitating your encounters with writing.
Workshops
Want to explore something new? Maybe hone some skills you haven’t used for awhile? It’s all here!
Mentoring
When you’re ready for something more intense and one-on-one, this is for you. Limited spaces available.
Writing Retreat
A chance to recharge, explore an aspect of your writing life in a meditative supportive environment.
Write & Sip
Grab a writing prompt and a glass of wine, pull up a chair, and have fun relaxing with words.
Poetry
Poetry is the only form of writing that touches primarily on the emotional spectrum of human experience rather than communicating via mental constructs. I love that about it.
Thoughts
I write a lot. Essays. Articles. Blog posts. All of them sharing what I’m thinking about. Maybe you think about these things, too.
Podcast
I call my podcast Writing Muse and Writing Mentor, because sometimes I talk about what inspires writers, and sometimes I give practical tips.
