This novel was great fun to write! The setting of the story  took place on a boat in beautiful Deep Cove, located in North Vancouver BC. After living 4 ½ years on my boat at the same location where I set my book, it wasn’t hard to recapture the essence of living on the water in the Pacific Northwest.

Since I was writing a suspense novel, I knew I needed to incorporate a frightening element into the story, and the old power station up the Indian Arm seemed perfect for that. The building had even been used as a filming location for Stephen King's story, IT, which was adapted into a movie. The building, built in the 1800’s has an eerie past involving a murder and a dangerous love triangle. Interesting! I would often take my Zodiac boat there to jig for cod. There were times when I would drift close to the foundation of the old station and look way up at the broken windows into the darkness. I used to get body shivers as I was the only person around, just me and whatever sinister creepy things inhabited the old building. LOL.

In this book, my characters are running from a bad guy on shore and must enter the old structure through the back. The building has long since been condemned so gaining access was impossible. So, I called the local water taxi and lucked out. The young man who was working told me that he and his friends had on a few occasions went into the old water station. So, I was able to gain a lot of information about the inside and the outside of the place. (For his troubles, I sent him a signed copy of the novel when it was released.) So, if you like creepy tales with a thrilling plot, I think you’ll like this book.

Thanks for reading!
