Ellen Herrick Book order (chronological)

Ellen Herrick brings a wealth of experience from nearly a decade in book publishing as a publicist to her writing. After spending sixteen years raising three children and traveling extensively in England, the call of the ocean ultimately drew her back home to a seaside town reminiscent of Granite Point. Her narratives often explore the profound connection between people and the sea, set against the backdrop of charming coastal communities she knows so well. Through her work, Herrick crafts stories that are both evocative of a deep sense of place and compelling in their unfolding.
