Meet the Authors: Bette Stevens

Inspired by The Pine Tree State—Maine’s diverse landscape, natural beauty, rural communities, and independent people—Bette A. Stevens' 150 haiku poems, along with 49 of her photographs, reflect the Maine she knows and loves. Bette's imagery draws the reader into her world of wonder and delight. My Maine takes readers on a poetic journey through Maine’s four seasons. This is a collection to be slowly savored, made even more delectable with the author’s original drawings and photographs. 

Bette is the author of AMAZING MATILDA, an award-winning children’s picture book; The Tangram Zoo and Word Puzzles Too!, a home/school resource incorporating hands-on math and writing; and PURE TRASH, the short story prequel to her debut novel, DOG BONE SOUP, a Boomer’s coming-of-age story set in 1950s and 60s New England. A retired teacher, wife, mother of two, and grandmother of five, Bette lives in Central Maine with her husband. 

Meet Bette and dozens of Maine authors when Books in Boothbay returns on September 11. A portion of on-site book sales will benefit the Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library and the Boothbay Harbor Railway Village.
