Here are my books. (Or they will be here as we continue to tweak the site and add photos and an article!) Thank you for your patience!

I have read all six of your novels and I have long been a fan of your writing. I am impressed by the strong and well-developed characters as well as the harsh and very real world in which they must survive. I have recently begun writing, or attempting to do so at least, for publication. This has caused me to be a bit more particular about what, and who, I choose to read; you are on my list of favorite authors. I am wondering if you have plans to publish anything in the near future?
Thank you so much Nicole. I’ve also found that I have to be careful about what I’m reading when I’m working on manuscripts. A bit of sloppy writing gets way too deep into my brain! Thank you for considering my work worth reading as you write. I have recently begun writing for the inspirational market and currently have a novel complete and another nearly complete (in 2nd draft – I’m a 6 draft person usually) but no publisher yet. Good luck with your work. Keep me posted!!
I made it all the way to the news tab this morning… thank you for so graciously answering a question that you had already answered
I am thrilled to hear that you have new works in progress. Best of luck finding a publisher. I look forward to reading your new novel when it becomes available!
I’m always happy to answer questions, Nicole! I learn so much by asking, and very little by just wondering!!
I have read your novel “Mother Earth Father Sky”, it is one of the greatest novel i have ever read.Your grandeur of diction truly amazed me.How wonderfully you bring the reader to the land of fantasy, and how beautifully you webbed your story till end, its blessing for the people like me, which likes to live in those lands where nature has its own secrets.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Amna.
I too am another of your fans after almost completing your book Mother Earth Father Sky. I was so beautifuly captivated and drawn in, right at the very start, to the world of your characters. I have always loved this type of stories in this setting of early civilization. I am so pleased to know that you have written many more stories in this time line. Is there sequels to this book? Please forgive me as I am new to your work and would like to read them in order and also in the groups (trilogies)I have seen on your website. Thank you for your friendliness in corrispondence with your fans as this is as exciting to me as reading your wonderfully written books. Any guidence in sequence would be extremely helpful to me.
Thank you so much for your reply and thank you for your stories.
Another fan,
CC Weddel
Thank you, CC! I’ve written 2 Alaskan trilogies. The first is called The Ivory Carver Trilogy. In correct sequence they are Mother Earth Father Sky; My Sister the Moon; Brother Wind. The second is The Storyteller Trilogy. They are Song of the River, Cry of the Wind and Call Down the Stars. Thanks for asking!
Amaaaazing… Love ur books. I am Alaskan Native and ur books cause a tremble in my spirit….. My dreams are filled with ur storytellers, my mind lingers on single scenes in ur books.. I really cant tell you how very much I love your stories…
Thank you for hours of joy. My family does tend to get a little hungry, for my lack of feeding them, when one of ur books is in my hand.. Bawhahhah!!
Much respect, Martina
Thank you so much. Your beautiful words put joy into my day.
Ms. Harrison,
You are one of those rare writers, who can actually transport a person back in time. I have been a huge fan of your trilogy’s for years and I alternate every other year which triology I re-read. What a splendid craftswoman you are! I periodically check for new titles, but I never thought to access your website! I know that your novels take a tremendous amount of time to write and research, but there is really nothing out there that reaches the caliber of your pre-historic writings, especially for the “frozen north”. Please consider writing some more about this fascinating time period and area for your loyal fans. The fire is dying, stoke up the flames! Thank you!
Thank you for those kind, kind words about my novels, Lynne. I loved writing my Alaska books, and the decision to no longer write about the Aleut and Athabascan peoples was not my decision, but that of my publisher. I am currently trying to write romantic suspense (comedic and literary – wierd combination!) for the inspirational market. The process is like starting over again, and I’m learning patience and perserverance!
I have read all of your books cover to cover twice over and am ready to read them a 3rd time. I never get bored reading them. I love the wonderful way you have of transporting your reader. I feel as if I am there watching the story unfold. I actually cried the first time I read Mother Earth Father Sky. With other authors the first book is the best and the rest aren’t as good, but in your case each book is wonderful. If I were you I’d think twice about your “publisher”. I’m pretty sure you could amaze us one more time.
Thank you, Jennifer. I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed my novels!
I just wanted to let you know that you’ve been very inspirational to me as a writer! Every time I read your works (so far I’ve read “Mother Earth Father Sky” and “My Sister the Moon”) I’m amazed by your beautiful storytelling style; I count you as my greatest influence in my own writing style–along with Jane Austen and J.R.R. Tolkien, my other two favorites. As I’m now dabbling in writing a fantasy novel set in a prehistoric ice age world, inspired primarily by “Mother Earth Father Sky” and Ursula K. LeGuin’s “Left Hand of Darkness,” I’m planning to re-read and finish the Ivory Carver Trilogy and The Storyteller Trilogy–no other contemporary author has captivated my imagination the way you have.
Wow, Blaine, thank you so much.
Hi Sue, “Mother Earth Father Sky” is a perfect book – thank you so much for writing it. I also have My Sister the Moon to read; and I hope to read all your books soon. I love books about these times, love the history, learning about that. I’m sure all your readers appreciate your research. Did you finish any mystery books? Keep writing for us! Hugs, Maggie
where do I find the names of all the novels you wrote? I am currently reading SONG OF THE RIVER…how refreshing to read a book this interesting and not filled with filth….thank you for such a great book!
To Anonymous, April 6 – Sorry for my delay in response. I’m getting caught up from a vacation get-away. Click on our store. Honest you won’t have to buy anything, but each of the books is listed there with a blurb about contents.
Maggie Blue and Anon, thank you both for your kind words about my novels. I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed them. Maggie, I’ve finished two mysteries now. I have no assurance of publication, but my agent is helping me get them into shape. It’s a steep learning curve, and I’ve still so much to learn about writing mystery/suspense. Having a lot of fun though!
Sorry to hear that you are no longer writing prehistoric Native American fiction. One thing I really liked about your second trilogy was your ability to seamlessly jump between time periods to explain the origin of certain histories and events. Although I appreciate your efforts to change genres, maybe you should consider looking for publishers who are more open to Native American prehistory. Kathleen O’Neal Gear and Michael Gear continue to publish regularly in that genre.
Would love to hear you speak if you ever come downstate for us trolls who live “below the bridge.” I do meet up with Lynn and Caren Chappell now and then, and they speak highly of you.
Thank you for those kind words, Jim. Say Hi to Caren and Lynn for us!
Ironically, Caren and Lynn now live in Harrison, MI.
