Rip Gone Wrong

Ethan thought he was going for an easy snowmobile ride to Quebec and home again, but looking back from his hospital bed, the only thing easy to see were the mistakes he'd made along the way. Told by a social worker to record everything that happened to him in the frozen bush of Northeastern Ontario, Ethan faces the consequences of each choice he made to stay alive and get home.

But is he telling the truth?

Rip Gone Wrong is a short adventure/suspense for reluctant readers about survival in late winter in Northeastern Ontario. Some adult language and extreme situations are depicted.

About the author

After her first heartbreak, Tori found solace in two things: reading romance novels and listening to an after-dark radio program called Lovers and Other Strangers. Throughout the summer and fall of 1990, the new kid in town found reading fiction and writing her own short stories gave her a much needed creative outlet. Determined to become a published author, Tori amassed stacks of notebooks and boxes of filed-away stories, most only half-finished before another idea would overtake her and demand to be written down. Then, while on parental leave with her second baby, one story formed and refused to be packed away. Between teaching full-time, parenting, and life in general, it would take almost seven years before the first novel in her first trilogy would be completed. In the process, Tori finally found her stride as a writer.

At present, on her off-time, Tori not only enjoys reading, but also listening to an eclectic mix of music as she walks the family dog, attempts to turn her thumb green, or makes needlework gifts for her friends and family members. She loves to travel, collect and make miniature furniture, and a good cup of tea during a thunderstorm or a blizzard. Under it all, she is always intrigued by history, the supernatural, vampire and shapeshifter mythology, romance, and other dangers.
