Buck Memorial Library welcomes Claire Acroyd, a published author as well as a landscape & garden designer.

​Raised in England among the best traditions of English gardening, in a large house with a large garden and a large family. 25 years ago she began doing inspections for organic certification for the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), and this is where she found the impetus to write a story.

Her inspection work provided her with a unique look into the operations of the maple syrup industry and the people who toil in order to bring sugary sweetness to our tables. From that, “Murder in the Maple Woods” and its follow up, “Body in the Blueberry Barrens” were born.

Her books will be available for purchase from Bookstacks.
