Brief Author Bio: Have been through a lot in my life... trained as a scientist, worked as an assistant in many fields: solar-terrestrial physics, meteorology, oceanography (which is my abiding love). Enjoyed numerical modelling with computers a lot, and really miss that part of "academia". Quit grad school due to numerous pressures including disability and the demands of raising two teens. Now am able to work as a technical writer. I would love to realize my thwarted childhood dream of being a pro writer. Would be glad to make friends with others who deal with challenges, so we can encourage each other! |

Synopsis: Bella Coola
Sara Waters wakes up in a small town on the Echoin River in Vancouver Island, a world away from her youth in Australia, and her former career as an oceanographer. In an effort to remember how she was deposited there, she embarks on a journey through the labyrinth of the world - real and imagined - to find herself in Bella Coola: a town perched on the edge of her sanity.
