Aldora Cole was raised on the prairies by a gopher and a goose in a 1906 traditional foursquare farmhouse. She has travelled the world, lived in Denmark, loved and lost a second language, studied too much and too little, married twice, birthed a rocket and rescued an outlaw. She left hell for purgatory in rural Alberta, mines the past for present material, loves emojis, and “it’s complicated” with her pursuit of a best seller.
