Welcome to my corner of the North Country
More than one story to tell.
I'm Erica R. Buteau—writer, data analyst, publisher, homesteader, and lifelong storyteller in northern New Hampshire. Here, years of blogging meet the books I'm writing, the businesses I'm building, and the beautifully messy life in between.
Behind the byline
Real life is not one niche.
One life. Many chapters. A North Country perspective.
I have never believed curiosity should fit neatly inside one category. I write about what I live, research what I want to understand, and build things that give good ideas a life beyond the page.
From books and businesses to family, farm life, and the North Country that grounds it all, this is where you can discover the person behind the stories.
Away from the writing desk, I also serve as an Emergency Medical Responder in my North Country community. Showing up for people matters to me as much as telling their stories.
