The story behind the story...
Callum's Compass came from an idea I originally had in high school. What if I could prove that mountain lions had returned to East Tennessee? The plot line has changed a lot since then, but when you read it, you will find that mountain lion element still makes an appearance. The treasure hunt that Kat Williams goes on was inspired by my uncle Jim. He was a clever man. Growing up, he left clues to 'treasure hunts' for my cousins to find in between chores. And, when we went on family vacations, he created real treasure hunts with gold coins (or chocolate doughnuts) as the prize. The first clue Kat finds is one Uncle Jim created and left for us on a trip to Outer Banks, North Carolina. He had us stumped all day, and we even had to call his son, who was unable to make the trip, for help. We eventually solved all the clues and used a metal detector to find buried gold on the beach. These are some of the BEST memories I have, and I still miss him every day. I started my own scavenger hunt on Facebook for the rest of October, I would love for your readers to check it out! Here is the blog link for the rules and instructions https://saralfoust.com/2017/10/16/scavenger-hunt/

KAT
WILLIAMS’S brother died in a gruesome accident in the mountains of East
Tennessee. She blames herself.
RYAN
JENKINS’S fiancée was murdered. He couldn’t protect her.
With
the death of her brother, Kat believes she is unworthy of love from anyone—even
God. When a good friend elicits a promise that she will stop living in the past
and then leaves her clues to a real-life treasure hunt, Kat embarks on an
adventure chock-full of danger. To find the treasure, Kat will have to survive
wild animals—and even wilder men. Can she rely on Ryan, the handsome wildlife
officer assigned to protect her . . . without falling in love?
Ryan
swore off love when his fiancée was murdered, but feelings long-buried rise to
the surface around Kat. He volunteers to help with her treasure hunt, vowing to
keep her safe. Together they venture deep into caves and tunnels . . . and even
deeper into the depths of their unplumbed hearts.
