About the Author
Ardeana Hamlin works at the Bangor Daily News and is a Kennebec Valley girl who grew up in Bingham in the 1950s and 1960s in the days of river drives, a veneer mill, and woods operations. She is the daughter of an Avon lady and a registered Maine Guide. She started working in the newspaper business as a freelance writer in 1985 and as a proofreader, copyeditor, reporter, and columnist in 2000. She enjoys digging in the dirt of her flower beds, doing needlework, and lolling in a hammock under the maple tree at her home in Hampden. In addition to Pink Chimneys, she wrote A Dream of Paris.
Review
"The characters are bright, amusing and entertaining, and the adventure Hamlin has brewed is turbulent as a tempest at times, but also full of light and beauty, both local and foreign. When you pick up the book, choose a comfortable seat on a rainy day, because the many forks in M's road will keep you guessing which way the story will go." --Aislinn Sarnacki, Bangor Daily News
"Fans of historical fiction will find Abbott s Reach to be a masterpiece of vivid historical accuracy. Vibrant character development and intricate, careful plotting, provide colorful and exciting insight into Maine's seafaring families in the 1870s. ... Hamlin's skillful portrayal of M and the challenges she faces give this story a true sense of realism and satisfying romance." --Bill Bushnell, Morning Sentinel
