Alongside these responsibilities, Harriet operated a successful custom cake business for twenty-five years.With the passing of her husband and the closing of her business, Harriet turned to writing as a way to give voice to the moments she had long treasured. Many of her stories are drawn from the everyday joys and challenges of family life, often touched by the perspective of a grandmother. While she occasionally employs literary license, her work is rooted in authenticity and infused with warmth, humor, and a deep appreciation for life's small but meaningful details.Her debut book, Carmine - A Very Special Horse, introduced readers to her story-telling, and her forthcoming title, Mom's Bedroom Door, continues that journey.
