She’s all alone. She’s on her own.
Do these phrases frighten you
or energize you?
Those of us who write mystery/suspense novels often place our characters in settings that challenge them, push them, pull them…to survive.
In my new release, When Mountains Fall, I present Camryn Hudson with a series of crises she must manage in order to help her son, save her dead husband’s reputation, and maintain a livelihood on a marina floating in an isolated British Columbia Bay.

Here’s the Back Cover Summary:
Running a marina in isolated Waka Bay, British Columbia was her husband’s dream, not hers. But now he’s dead and a prime suspect in a murder.
Shattered by grief, Camryn Hudson must return to the bay to exonerate her husband, protect her seven-year-old son, and save a failing business.
Loner Finn Weber’s mission seems equally impossible. He left a top job in Seattle to work in tiny Port McNeill. Fulfilling a bargain with his ailing mother, he must sail to Waka Bay every weekend. He never imagined the danger of cruising into Camryn’s heart while withholding a family secret.
A killer roams the land and vultures demand possession of the marina. Can Camryn solve a crime and survive in Waka Bay?
I hope you enjoy my Woman at the Helm Mystery, When Mountains Fall.

This reflection on solitude and isolation resonates deeply, especially in our fast-paced world. Embracing such moments can lead to increased focus and clarity. In project management, tools like Gantt charts offer a structured approach to planning, ensuring tasks are organized and timelines are clear. They help teams visualize dependencies and track progress effectively. It's fascinating how both solitude and structured planning can lead to enhanced productivity and insight.
