29 kirjaa tekijältä Jean Edwards
Jean Edwards, a Maine native whose ancestry ties her to coastal Maine, began writing poetry as a child. This collection embodies her appreciation of the ocean, rivers, islands and all those who live and work on the Maine coast or sail the seas. Some of these poems are serious, some playful, while others express dreams, thoughts and yearnings. Her recent historical novel, "The Glove," traced the life of a Maine girl who grew up on Appleton Ridge and became an actress in New York. It was published in 2005. Of "The Glove", the Camden Herald writes: " Interspersed throughout the story are Edwards' own poems, which add poignancy and texture to the narrative."
"Hello, God, It's Me Again" is a collection of letters to God with thoughts and insights of faith. Daily situations present opportunities for reflection on the constancy of a relationship with God.
This book of poetry and the accompanying photographs are of Maine wildflowers, written to provide the reader with a knowledge and appreciation of all the blossoming plants in this state that burst forth joyously following long cold winter months.
Mattie McCracken lives in a small fishing village on the coast of Maine and with her dog "TuTu," she finds adventure wherever she goes. Her interest in China leads her to more interesting experiences and her confidence and optimism make her an inspiration to young readers.
Jean Edwards lives with her husband on the banks of the Saint George River. Throughout her growing up years she was interested in writing poetry, essays and scripts for marionette performances. While raising her four children, she worked for the Food and Drug Administration preparing congressional correspondence for signature and obtained a position as an Internationally rated Gymnastics Official. She worked with theater in schools and the City of Rockville, Maryland Ballet. When her four children graduated from college (an engineer, a schoolteacher, a YMCA program director and a Public Health Service Commander), she was able to devote more time to her passion for writing. This is her twentieth book which includes nine historical novels, a script and music for an operetta, 6 children's books, a book of essays and three books of poetry. Her song lyrics are included in a compilation of poems.
