Snowline by John Witte

When a snowstorm traps a pair of strangers in an abandoned cabin deep in the Alaskan bush, they have two choices: work together or die. Search and rescue crews identify the missing persons as Richard Maynard, an Alaskan family man, and Mel Drummond, a city slicker from New York twenty years his junior. Hypothermia, starvation, and bloodthirsty wildlife aren't the only perils that face this unlikely and unlucky duo--a deadly specter from Richard's past threatens to catch up with him. The clock is ticking. Will a rescue party come knocking before it's too late? And if not, can Richard and Mel set aside their differences and do whatever it takes to survive?

About the Author

John Witte was born in Torrance, CA, in 1965. A chance sales call to Alaska saw him fall in love with the community, the culture, and the mountains, and he moved to Anchorage in 1990. John and his loving wife raised their son and daughter in Alaska, and they proudly call Anchorage home to this day. When he's not putting in long hours at his logistics business, John also enjoys spending time with his family, flying bush planes, hunting, fishing, snowmachining, and visiting Native communities. He also loves unplugging at his cabin near Skwentna, Alaska. The remote cabin is only accessible by boat, plane, or snowmachine, and in 2010 it was ransacked by a pair of trigger-happy thieves, an utterly bizarre event which ended up inspiring Snowline.
