About Eleanor Vance

Welcome! I'm Eleanor Vance, and I invite you to step into the world of Harvest Hills, the setting for my Hayloft Secrets cozy mystery series. My stories are born from a fascination with the quiet strength and complex loyalties found in America's rural heartland—places where the land shapes not just livelihoods, but lives. In Harvest Hills, a town woven into a landscape of rolling fields and age-old barns, I explore what happens when the fabric of a tight-knit community begins to fray under the weight of long-held secrets and escalating tensions.

My protagonist, Lark Ellery, is a resourceful amateur sleuth who, like many of us, grapples with the delicate balance between personal desires and the responsibilities we carry for those we love. Through her journey, and the unfolding mysteries in books like Voices Over Grimes Landing, I delve into the spiritual throughline of duty and grace. It's a world where unspoken faith shapes choices, drawing lines between personal ambition and communal responsibility, and where the struggle between what the heart wants and the soul knows is right is always present. If you're a reader who appreciates a gentle faith woven into a compelling mystery, where secrets whispered in the dark eventually find their way to the daylight, then I believe you'll feel right at home in Harvest Hills.
