Like our Author’s Secrets Blog host, Tena, I love camping. Lucky for me, I live in British Columbia, and there are countless beautiful wilderness areas near my home. Recently, I visited Chilko Lake in Ts’il?os Provincial Park (pronounced sigh-loss). Chilko Lake is the largest high-elevation lake in Canada. The area is remote and has such stunning beauty that it’s been featured in the movie The Bears and I (1974), and the reality shows Wild Horses, and Season 8 of Alone.
To reach this remote area, my husband and I travelled in our truck and camper over rough gravel roads and along a narrow, pot-hole-filled winding trail to our campsite. The vista of towering snow-topped mountains and the turquoise color of glacier-fed Chilko Lake is breath taking. Wild horses, grizzly bears, deer, and countless other animals roam the forested hillsides. Bald eagles soar on the wind.
Hiking along the windy shores of Chilko Lake is an experience I’ll never forget. I returned home energized and ready to write the next novel.
What’s Forging Forgiveness about:
When small-town college instructor Candace Cooper discovers bloody, bare footprints in the snow while running in a state park deep in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, it brings back the horrific nightmare of her past.
Detective Aiden Farrell is determined to redeem himself in his new position in Colorado, even if that means ignoring his growing feelings for the beautiful professor he meets during an investigation. His fear that the footprints she saw are connected to a recent spate of missing teens intensifies when Candace is assaulted on campus.
Aiden and Candace join forces, but as they start unraveling the truth, they get closer to each other—and to a killer who’ll stop at nothing to achieve his nefarious goal.
Caught between duty and love, Aiden fights in a race against time to save the woman he loves.
Sneak peek between the pages of Forging Forgiveness
Candace Cooper’s breath fogged out in plumes in the frosty, late afternoon air as she pumped her arms and loped along the narrow trail. Yesterday’s rain had turned to sleet, and overnight, two inches of fresh snow blanketed the trail.
Something caught her eye, and she slowed to a stop, turned around, and walked back three yards. What the heck? Indentations—a heel, the pad of a big toe, and the four, smaller indents of the other toes—were clearly formed in the smooth dusting of snow. The set of small, narrow footprints tracked along the snowy trail, veering into the deeper shadows of the forest. Someone had walked in his or her bare feet down the cold, snow-covered path.
The wind gusted against her damp face, and she shivered. Late November was too cold for anyone in their right mind to be out in the mountainous backcountry of northeast Colorado walking around without proper footgear. She squatted for a closer look. A smear of dark red, stark against the white snow, marked the heel depression of each left footprint. She touched the red splotch with the tip of her gloved finger. A rust-colored smudge stained the light blue cotton. Her heart rate kicked up.
Blood!
