I started writing Island of Three two years ago while reminiscing about some of the canoe camping trips I used to go on. We’d point our old red fiberglass boat that weighed a ton toward some distant shore and started paddling. Often we would stop off on one of the tiny rocky islands that can be found on most of the northern lakes on the Canadian Shield. It is a breath taking area, and certainly a romantic destination to entertain two gorgeous hunks.

Ironically, a few days ago I was out canoeing with my husband and my son. Although there were dark clouds on the horizon, the lake was smooth as glass. We paddled far on a twisting water path, around cattails and sandy banks, taking turns pointing to a flock of pelicans, the odd Grebe, or an oversized dragonfly. Before long those dark clouds had closed in and thunder rumbled in the distance. Weather in my part of the world is fast changing and unpredictable, so we turned around, (stopping to rescue a dragonfly from certain death in the process), and thank goodness we did. By the time we hoisted the canoe back onto the car rain started pelting us. We pulled out on to the highway, and because we don’t have roofracks, rain started to seep along the straps poking through each window. The wind blew hard and it started to hail. Soon we had to pull off to adjust the canoe and straps, and then we could only travel along the shoulder with our hazards on. By the time we reached home we were thoroughly soaked but laughing and still in good spirits.
I was reminded of the story I had just finished editing, thinking the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

Just a reminder, I will be giving away a copy of Island of Three to one person who comments during my guest blog visit to Seriously Reviewed. I will announce the winner on Sept 11th, 2010.
