Former Coeur d’Alene Resident to Sign Books, Share Her Story

Jeanne Hardt
Former Coeur d’Alene resident and entertainer Jeanne Hardt, will sign copies of her book, “He’s In My Dreams,” which is set in the Lake City, when she visits the Coeur d’Alene Public Library on Thursday, July 19.
Hardt will sign her book 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in front of Second Story Books – the used book store in the lobby operated by the Friends of the Library – and will speak in the Community Room beginning at 6 p.m.
“In the course of my life, I’ve always had a passion for the creative arts, Hardt said. “I believed that one day I’d be a singer with songs on the radio, and that I’d be touring from state to state – or perhaps even country to country – performing songs I’d written. However, our lives don’t always follow the paths we assume they will.”
“I had a dream in November of 2010 in which I was instructed by a college professor to write a romance novel based in a time of civil unrest,” she said.  “The story took place in Mobile, Ala., after the end of the Civil War. When I woke, I remembered everything: the characters, the plot, etc.  So, after pestering my coworkers with the details of my dream, they encouraged me to write it down.”
In the following year she completed three novels of more than 190,000 words.
She credits workshops she attended through Romance Writers of America and her local chapter, Music City Romance Writers, with advancing her work.
“I’ve met many incredible authors who’ve inspired and encouraged me to keep writing. I can never thank them enough,” she said.
Her debut novel, “Marked,” was published in June 2014. It and her other books are available on Amazon.
Copies of the book will be available for signing with a portion of sales benefitting the Friends of the Library.
