THE NUTS AND BOLTS
I now know exactly where to position my hero when the cable car docks. And I know exactly how to get him up there. The bad guys will be in that glass control booth in the centre.
I love the way writing a novel can make you see your own world with new eyes. I first traveled in that sky tram when I was 12 years old and heading up Grouse Mountain for my first ever ski lesson. It was also the first time in my life I had ever seen snow. I was both thrilled and petrified at the idea of sliding down that mountain on two planks.
Never did I dream I would return 31 years later — after travelling continents and what seems like several lifetimes – a published author seeking a way to set the show-down action scene of my current novel there. With a daughter the same age as I was, standing by my side.
And she’s an ace skier to boot
