Popular Answered Questions

Not really a question, but I was surprised when on a recent trip to Oregon we passed Ashland on Interstate 5. Your description in your series led me expect a rather small town, but Ashland much larger! Of course, I know that your depiction is fictional. Would you consider including a map of YOUR Ashland showing the main street businesses and other important landmarks in future books?

Ellie Alexander Hi Sandy,

So sorry for the very belated answer. I never received notification from Goodreads that questions were waiting.

How fun that you were able to see Ashland. It has a population of about 20,000 and Jules references that in the books. Although, you're right. For my fictional version of the town I condense a lot of the action into the plaza, OSF campus, and Lithia Park. I love the idea of creating a map! And, I'm getting ready to start rolling out some short videos on my social media that show the real versus imagined versions of Ashland. Happy reading!(less)

Hi Ellie! I wondered, did you grow up learning how to bake, or was it something you learned as an adult? Is most of the know-how from the books right out of your own head, or is there research involved?

So sorry, I'm just seeing these questions for the first time now. I grew up baking with both of my parents as well as grandmother and aunts. Everything I know is self-taught. I'm not a trained pastry chef, and while my recipes usually taste great they never look professional. You know, like lopsided cakes ;-) Because Jules is an artisan baker I do a LOT of research when working on a book. I've spent countless hours watching true pastry chefs at work. I have a good friend who is an incredible (and professional) baker who has allowed me to document her process. It's been wonderful to meet real pastry chefs and have them impart their wisdom and tips. Hopefully it brings the baking to life in the books! Thanks for the question, and happy baking! (less)
