Hi Mr. Johnson. What made you decide to set "The Wolves of Winter" in Canada versus, say the northwest of the USA like Alaska, Washington, or Oregon, or the eastern most part of Maine? Just curious - I am Canadian; my deceased husband was from Maine. The northeastern most part of Maine along the Quebec/New Brunswick border is bone-chillingly cold in the winter, and there's never a lack of snow!

Hi Elinor, I knew I wanted it set in a snowy, northern landscape. I also wanted it to be set in an area of wilderness where my characters would be utterly displaced from civilization. And since the population of the entire Yukon is something like 35,000 people, there was a lot of wilderness where I could displace them. Not to mention I live in BC and the Yukon is our northern neighbors. It just seemed to fit.

Most entertaining book I have read this year. Like others, I am hoping for a sequel. Any chance we might see this story into a movie?
