2000s: Strange things are happening in Maya’s tiny Vancouver Island town
The Gathering
What you need to know before your trail
Strange things are happening in Maya’s tiny Vancouver Island town. First, her friend Serena, the captain of the swim team, drowns mysteriously in the middle of a calm lake. Then, one year later, mountain lions are spotted rather frequently around Maya’s home, and her reactions to them are somewhat . . . unexpected. Her best friend, Daniel, has also been experiencing unexplainable premonitions about certain people and situations.
It doesn’t help that the new bad boy in town, Rafe, has a dangerous secret, and he’s interested in one special part of Maya’s anatomy- her paw-print birthmark.
Travel Guide
Salmon Creek
Fictional of sorts, although there is a Salmon River and Salmon Valley in BC!
The Salmon Creek in the novel is based in an isolated tiny medical research town which has a population of only about 200 people located in a national park. Most of the story takes place outdoors in the park and around the area. The story is one full of nature, wildlife, wooden cabins with only the most basic of necessities and all kinds of animals roaming around.
“Let’s just say that the St Cloud Corporation doesn’t exactly roll out the welcome mat to tourists. The park provides minimals services, Same goes for the town itself. The St Clouds weren’t able to buy every cottage and campground between the town site and existing communities, so we do get ‘ summer people’ – campers and cottagers needing basic supplies like groceries and gas, who come to Salmon Creek to get them.”
