THE FIXER-UPPER When Jenna Cassidy scoops the last available brownstone on Hummingbird Place at a tax auction, she piles all her belongings plus her German shepherd, Lola, into her old beater and travels across the country to the town of Poet, Oregon. Here, she’ll launch her dream career as a designer with sweat equity and a shoe string budget.

Ronnie has reached that wonderful age in life, where she no longer worries or cares about how other people judge her. She’s been happily married since the dawn of time … And has three children and five grandchildren, all of whom are brilliant human beings. Ronnie has lived in Europe, in Australia and all across Canada. She is now firmly ensconced in Northern British Columbia, with no intension of leaving the most beautiful place on earth anytime soon. Part of every year, Ronnie lives off the grid in a little cabin in the woods, returning each fall with a freshly written book under her arm only to be totally flummoxed by what has occurred in the world in her absence. Her homes feature doors that swing wide to welcome in visitors and are fabulously welcoming retreats filled with bubbling pots of homemade soup, teas and cookies, and dogs and cats, gazillions of paper books, eBooks and audible books of all stripes, and roving hairballs we have all agreed to ignore. Ronnie has been asked repeated from where she unearthed the new book she reveals each fall. Other writers want to know her source – which tree, which bush do they grow under? She isn’t telling where in the forest she mines her treasures, but we suspect woodland fairies may be involved …
