Life and literature in the frozen zone
Email Author:
Long-time Alaskan Carla Helfferich was still writing the
"Science Forum" column for Alaska newspapers when her
irrepressible series heroine Leona Skavitch took up residence in
her word processor and wouldn't leave. A fiction title wouldn't
sit well with her science readers, she thought, so author
Winterhouse was born. They live with a couple of cats in a cabin
on a hillside above the gold-mining village of Ester, Alaska,
with a good view of Mt. McKinley in the distance. (Helfferich's
husband, oceanographer Peter McRoy, has his own house along the
hillside with an even better view of the big mountain.)
