COOL ROMANTIC THRILL
Apparently, adrenaline is a very powerful aphrodisiac ;), and apparently, I live in a town that has been rated tops on the thriller-love scale.
Yeah — I knew I was doing something right penning romantic suspense in Whistler!
Whistler, British Columbia has been listed in Harlequin’s Romance Report 2007 
as being one of the top “unconventional romantic destinations’ for The Thrill Seekers, along with Pamplona, Mount Everest, Oahu (yes!), and the Amazon - Ecuador.
I figure this is why there are no romance novels for sale in Whistler — too many adrenaline junkies out there just plain too busy seeking the ultimate love/rush to read. It’s true, I tell ya.
And the nightlife can be just as crazy … should one choose to partake.
Still — it makes me feel kinda cool doing my thing here. Even if no one reads my fiction, I can live the dream, right? I can now also check off Oahu, Whistler, and Pamplona as romantically thrilling destinations I have visited with DH. Nope, we did not run with the bulls, but I think Basque terrorist attacks still constituted a thrill.
Next up … the Amazon. (We might give Everest a miss.)

I can’t believe they skipped over Cold Lake! We’ve got the Kinoosoo Legend! Didn’t they know?
*There was an eerie calm on the water as the Indian brave paddled across the great lake to reach his only true love, a trip he made on a regular basis without incidence. With only half the distance left to go, as he paddled past the mouth of French Bay, he heard a thundering splash roar up beside him. There was no time to react before the behemoth fish would inflict his wrath upon the brave. The next day the Indian maiden waited, even though hope had long since faded of her brave ever returning to her alive. News of the canoe they found, with a large missing chunk from what looked like the bite of a giant fish, saddened the girl. The canoe belonged to her betrothed, whom she never saw again after that fateful night he ran into Kinosoo, the legend of Cold Lake.*
