After years of bouncing back and forth across Canada, Jodie Esch finally chose Vancouver Island as her home. She lives in the country where she indulges in her passions of reading novels and studying recipe books. Her only reason to head to the city is to meet with friends or to find the perfect latte. She’s the proud author of The Girlfriends Series (Young Adult) and her romance series The Coopers. Her focus is on creating heroines who tackle life’s challenges, with a sense of humor and a touch of the mystical.
