Grad publishes Harlequin


Mount Allison graduate Ruth MacLean (’83) had her first book Heart of My Heart released by Harlequin Enterprises on April 8 under the pseudonym Stella MacLean.

Heart of My Heart is the story of a baby boomer couple (Oliver and James) who, after years of being separated by forces beyond their control, get married only to have him fall ill and need emergency surgery. The story is set in the hospital where he is recovering while Olivia relives their love affair over the past 40 years.

Besides having graduated from Mount A, Ruth’s uncle and aunt lived in Sackville for most of their lives. James Wheeler, her uncle, was treasurer of Mount Allison and her aunt Hazel Wheeler was active in the community.

Ruth is one of the few people in New Brunswick to have been published by Harlequin, one of the largest publishers of women’s fiction in the world.

The launch party for the book was be held at Marshland Inn on April 19.

Her second novel has just been accepted for publishing and she is presently writing her third Harlequin Romance.
