Escape To Mulligan Lake
by Sharon McGregor
Marni is beginning her summer holiday from
teaching, but she soon discovers it's not the relaxing time she'd hoped for.
Notes left on her windshield, flowers delivered into her locked apartment, and
phantom deliverymen leave her apprehensive. Police don't seem to take it
seriously. Then it kicks up a notch. Her car is vandalized and her cat Caesar
is poisoned. She soon discovers Greg, whom she meets through her best friend
Claire, is one policeman who wants to keep her safe. He also has an amazing
affect on her heart rate. Marni is afraid her stalker will turn on her friends
and decides to escape to an isolated cottage at a Vancouver Island lake. But
will her stalker follow?
A Note from Sharon:
A
little about the origins of Escape To Mulligan Lake:
With
the proliferation of social media,
stalking has become one of the most difficult crimes to identify, prove and
convict. While modern forensic science has totally changed police work in cases of theft, murder and
crimes of violence, it hasn't done much to improve the safety of women when
faced with a determined stalker. I decided to write a fictional tale to show
the fragility of that safety even when surrounded, like Marni, by a network of
friends. Then, of course, a little romance doesn't hurt so I added the handsome
and concerned police sergeant Greg. Throw in a beautiful setting, a few
additional quirky characters, and voila! Escape To Mulligan Lake was born.
A
little side note—When I finished writing Escape, one of those quirky
characters, Maggie, has me itching to tell her story as well. I have a plot
running in the back of my head and hope to write Maggie's tale soon.
Sharon McGregor is a west coast transplant from the Canadian
prairies, on a mission to escape the cold. Her imagination and story weaving
got its start when she was an only child living on a farm. She's moved on from
cowgirl dreams to romance and mystery, but hasn't lost her love for horses. She
writes humour, romance and cozies, sometimes a combination of all three.
When not writing or reading she is busy walking her dog along the
ocean.
In spite of her attempts to escape winter, she loves watching her
grandchildren at figure skating and hockey.
The main item not yet ticked on her bucket list is travel. She
wants to set her foot on six continents—she'll give Antarctica a pass, thank
you.
