What do you think when someone mentions Banff, Alberta? Million-dollar views. Rugged mountains. Tourist lined streets. Shopping. Hiking. Skiing. Wildlife. All of the above?
Banff
has so much to offer but to me, it’s home. Born and raised in the area, and now
living in Calgary, there is no better feeling than heading west on the Trans
Canada and having the familiar peaks fill the horizon.
The
old adage, write about what you know, takes a big role in my YA novel, Summer
of Lies.
Jillian,
my protagonist, came to life many years ago on a chairlift ride with my saucy,
tenacious teenage niece, Sami. Being avid readers, on the ride up the lifts we
would debate plot lines, characters and discuss the types of stories we like to
read. Then we'd race down the run. She always won. On one of those rides up the
lift, we decided someone needed to tell an outdoor adventure story that takes
place in Banff. Since Sami still had school and life to attend to, I said I’d
write it. What a process. A lengthy process. But it's now complete.
