Ep 113: Exploring Georgia with Author Ellie Hall
Join us as we tour the US through books, one state at a time.
Sweet romance and fixer uppers on the charming Georgia coast – our book of the week is Mr. & Mrs. Fix-it Find Love by Ellie Hall.
The town of Butterbury is fictional, but it’s inspired by the picturesque marshlands, barrier islands, & Spanish moss-draped oaks of coastal Georgia. If you love small towns with quirky characters, this one’s for you! We dive into her creative process, the role of charming small towns and foodie delights in her work, and the unique bargain Ellie struck with her contractor husband that led to the creation of the “Home Sweet Home” series, featuring captivating home improvement shows and plenty of whimsical mishaps.

Hi, I’m Ellie Hall. I’m a USA Today bestselling author. If only that meant I could wear a tiara and get away with it. 😉 I love puppies, books, and the ocean. Writing sweet romance with lots of firsts and fizzy feels gives me immense joy. Oh, and chocolate chip cookies are my fave. I believe in dreaming big, working hard, and lazy Sunday afternoons spent with my family and dog in gratitude for God’s grace.
Give me a good book, my dog, a cozy place to curl up and I’m golden. But even better, knowing that you’re living your own version of that sweet scene with one of my stories brings me great joy and satisfaction. The opportunity to share the pages with you, the stories, the laughs, and tears is an honor.
