Portage River Press

One writer, three names.

Everything here is written by Susan Harbourt, at a lighthouse on Lake Superior. The name on the cover changes so you can tell, at a glance, who the book is for. Start with what you came for.

Or go straight to a name

Susan Harbourt outside the Portage River light station, the white tower and red brick keeper's house behind her on a green point above Lake Superior
  1. I want to color, and I am not a child. Bold lines, single-sided pages, nothing fiddly.
    Coloring for grown-ups
  2. I am buying for a child. Travel activity books that follow a cat around a country.
    Bella's Big Adventures
  3. I want a novel with something not quite right in it. Lake Superior, stones that remember, and a bargain nobody should have made.
    The Greenstone Light
  4. I want to read about starting over. Women in their second act, in places worth the airfare.
    The novels
  5. I just want to see whether I like the artwork. Free pages from any coloring book, yours to print.

Why three names

Not three writers. Three shelves, so a parent buying a coloring book for a seven-year-old never has to work out which of these are for grown-ups.

Susan K. Harbourt

Novels for adults

The same person with a middle initial, and the initial is the whole signal: this one is a novel, and it is not for children. Witchy fiction set on the Keweenaw, and women starting over somewhere warmer. 8 titles.

SH Kelly

Reimagined classics, told from the other side

A flip of her own name, for books that flip the story. The woman everyone agreed was the villain usually had a reason, and it is usually missing from the version you were given. First titles in progress.
