Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock, author of The Smell of Other People's Houses, was a long-time journalist for Alaska Public Radio and prior to this spent many years fishing commercially, raising her children on a boat. She was born in Alaska and lives there still in a yurt with moose wandering through her backyard, a yurt that was lucky to escape the wildfires of 2019.Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock says: 'I'm so excited for readers to experience these small towns and their quirky, complex characters. When the world is on fire, we need each other more than ever.'
