Thank you, dear readers! You have made a difference!
COVID-19 almost sank the Haines bookstore. A local author’s national fans saved sales.

Dear Reader,
I love writing that. And you are dear to me, more than you will ever know. My books are in many ways a series of intimate letters to strangers (and friends and neighbors in the small town where I live. Which is sort of weird sometimes, but that’s what I do.)
Thanks very much for stopping by, reading what I write, and especially sharing my books. You can find them at most libraries and independent bookstores and there are E-versions. Find the Good is an audio book that I narrate.
If you’d like an autographed or personalized copy of any of my titles, contact Amy Kane at The Bookstore in Haines at hainesbookstore@gmail.com or 907-766-3356.
On the blog you will find photos and musings on my world and small-town Alaska life. Please Subscribe if you’d like to be notified of new posts. (It’s free.)
In other news, there’s a new book coming! Of Bears and Ballots is about my term on the Haines Borough Assembly, and will be published in June by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill. Stay tuned for updates on the book tour.
With Gratitude,
Heather

September, So Far
When this is finally over ('The Virus') as the little kids say, in a deep whisper, I will never say no to an invitation to coffee, or wine, or dinner or a party or even decorating the library for the holidays even though I'm not crafty at all and can't untangle...
“Democracy! It’s glorious chaos,” the owner of the local paper observes. It’s testimony to Lende’s special gift that, in spite of the pain and sadness involved in her political adventure, she leaves her readers with that same conclusion.
—Janet Brown, author and former bookseller (review from Shelf-Awareness).
A New York Times Bestseller
The L.A. Times called it “Part Annie Dillard, part Anne Lamott…”
“Lende writes emotionally but never sentimentally, giving us the best Alaska memoir of late, maybe the best ever.“
