This series began as a joke, amongst friends. Heather Hendrie then "caught the tiger by the tail", turning the project into a best-selling, published book that won the Canadian Book Club Award in 2023 for anthologies. A creative radical who's spent years fumbling through it all and figuring it out as she goes (pretty much like the rest of us), Heather has travelled around the world on a shoestring and a whim, and spent waaaaayyy too many hours lying in bed alone (or on the toilet in the bar....) swiping through to the end of the Tinder-verse.Originally from Guelph, Ontario, Heather has lived in Cusco, Costa Rica, California, Colorado, and the Canadian Rockies before landing in her coastal British Columbia home. She's got at least 13 jobs under her belt, from golf-course beverage cart sales, to in-flight air safety professional, touring film festival host, international bike tour guide and a starring role as Ms. Frizzell look-alike, touring buses through landfills in Calgary, Alberta.What she's learned along the way (stumbling from one disaster to another) could fill a book (and so she has). Heather has also used these life experiences to become a clinical counsellor, and through that work and her humble, intimate writing style, she reaches out a hand to the rest of us, as we all simply Bumble our way through, together.This project wouldn't have happened had two of Heather's best friends not scooped her up after a particularly bad date-to console her, and provide the same support to others, in literary form.
