Alaskan Ambush. Sarah Varland

СКАЧАТЬ ever been to. It’s much like the fictional town it inspired, tucked between the mountains and Resurrection Bay.

      Writing Kate’s story was a challenge. She’s been one of my favorite of the Dawson siblings since I came up with the series idea (although probably they’re all my favorite at different times), but when it came time to write her book, it was hard to get her to open up to me as a character—she’s not an easy woman to figure out. It got me thinking about how different we all are, as I started thinking about the people Kate reminds me of, and my own personality differences from her. I love the way God made us all so unique and this book was a lot of fun because I got to make what I feel like is a pretty unique heroine. I wish Kate was real; I’d see if she’d go hiking with me and teach me some of her backcountry skills.

      One facet of Kate’s personality was the way she was shaped by trauma in her past. We all have our own levels of grief and it takes just as much bravery to work through the ones in your life as it did for Kate to face that avalanche. I hope and pray that whatever you’ve faced in your past, you come to see how God can use it for good and that it brings you closer to Him.

      I love hearing from readers! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a challenging writing week and then opened my computer to find an encouraging letter from a reader. You can email me at [email protected], or you can find me online at facebook.com/sarahvarlandauthor, where I post writing news and a lot of Alaska photos.

      To my grandmother Kate Bryan. I borrowed your name for this book heroine, and maybe a tiny bit of your spunk, too. You’ve been in heaven for years, but it didn’t seem right to dedicate this one to anyone else. Thanks for all you taught me.

       Acknowledgments

      To my family, THANK YOU for everything you do, book related and not. I love you all. Thanks to my friends for being supportive. Special thanks also to Mark and Penny Agnew for that talk over brownies that helped lead to this book. Mark, thanks for the information about trackers—I tried to capture their spirit with Kate’s character, but any mistakes are mine.
