Debut Novel Coming Soon!
In the company of whales
Carla is a former punk musician whose childhood scars have left her isolated, preferring animals to people. She can barely keep her head above water working in a small-town coffee shop when her precarious financial situation takes a turn for the worse. Eviction looms and she sees no way out.
Carla's fight for her own survival takes a back seat when a pod of orcas becomes trapped in a nearby inlet. Hordes of eager whale watchers crowd onto the small body of water for a closer look.
Nathan, a marine biologist who arrives to observe the whales, needs volunteers to help protect them and Carla steps up. The abundant salmon supply dwindles day by day as concerns for the orcas' health mount. Time is running out. Why they don't leave the way they came in is anyone's guess. Carla has an idea of how to free them but to succeed she must end her isolation to stand up for the majestic whales and for herself.
