“As a reader, I like to read about different locations. I love to travel to places that I’ve read about. And I’m very proud to be from northern B.C. and as most people know we’re a big tourist destination for a lot of people. So, my thought was other people would want to read about us,” she says.

“There is also a hint of write what you know. It seems kind of pointless to create a fake city when I could just use Prince George and people who don’t know it it won’t make any difference to them but people who do know can feel that connection. So, I like to talk to people who say ‘I knew what you were talking about there.’ And even if I don’t use the real name say ‘wasn’t that the street that you were talking about?’ And I think that’s really cool.”
