As author of Summers with Miss Elizabeth and its upcoming prequel, Summers with Gin, Lori Knowles aims to do for Muskoka Lakes what Elin Hilderbrand does for Nantucket and Mary Alice Monroe does for the Carolinas. She enjoys developing vivid characters and dramatic storlines in cinematic settings. Lori is also a seasoned journalist whose profiles and features appear frequently in North American newspapers and magazines including The Globe and Mail and Ski Canada. She served for more than a decade as the family travel columnist for the Toronto Sun. Lori now edits Ski Canada magazine and MuskokaStyle.com, as well as a monthly Substack column called Lori’s Stories, but her true passion is writing fiction. Summers with Miss Elizabeth is available in stores and online now. The second novel in her Summers series, Summers with Gin, will be published in May 2027.
