Available now! The Bonne Chance Bakery

“Some of life’s curveballs are actually serendipity in disguise, as a woman trying to navigate love, business, and yes, baked goods discovers in Charlotte Rains Dixon’s new novel. As charming as it is compulsively readable The Bonne Chance Bakery is a delicious story and I can’t recommend it highly enough.” ~ Camille Pagán, best-selling author of Life and Other Near-Death Experiences

The Bonne Chance Bakery

Macaron baker Madeleine Miller almost loses her business–and her heart–to the fabulous actor slash business mogul Richard Bishop. Our heroine, Madeleine, follows a circuitous path filled with quirky characters to find her way back to herself.

Set in Portland, Los Angeles and Paris, the book the novel illuminates the crazy path romance can take us on—and the circuitous route that will lead the way home.

“Working with Charlotte has been my own personal master class in writing.” ~ Joanna Monahan, author of Something Better

When not writing novels, Charlotte coaches writers and leads writing workshops in France, England, and in and around the Pacific Northwest, including the Oregon Coast, Oregon wine country, and Washington State’s Lopez Island.

She lives with her husband in Portland, Oregon, in a multi-generational home that is by turns boisterous and exuberant but seldom quiet. She believes no breakfast is complete without a crossword puzzle to work and no Happy Hour can actually be happy without popcorn. (Wine goes without saying.) She writes stories about places you long to live filled with people you’d love to know.

Contact Charlotte to learn more about her coaching and her workshops.

“Taking Charlotte’s three-day novel writing workshop was life-changing! Her obvious love of teaching and the warmth and support she exudes ignites the spirit and the pen. With her confidence-building coaching my novel is underway.” ~ Kim Leval, author of Bard of the Klamath

 “I am a first-time book author who was shy and overwhelmed by my aspirations. But, I was delighted to find that Charlotte treated my ideas with as much love and respect as if they were her own.” ~ Holly Marie St. Pierre, therapist, writer, activist, crocheter
