10 Fun Things to know about Iain
1) I like promoting my books at ComicCons and talking with fans both old and new.
2) I always read any reviews people leave on Amazon to see what people like or dislike about the books. Those reviews play a big part in how I develop the later books in the series.
3) I am a bit obsessed with the show Lost. I can't stand that they never explain exactly WHAT the island is. It's just a weird island, some people crashed on it from a plane and later escaped. End of story.
4) I spent a significant amount of time in 2013-2014 following two major concert tours around to various venues: Roger Waters The Wall tour and Taylor Swift's Red tour.
5) Much to my editor's chagrin I still don't understand the difference between "further" and "farther".
6) I love going tobogganing at three o'clock in the morning.
7) I am addicted to the game Hearthstone.
8) I always wanted to be a musician and gave it my best shot (see www.secretworldonline.com) but nothing ever came of it.
9) I am irony-impaired. (IE I apparently have trouble identifying what is true irony and what is just an odd coincidence)
10) I once climbed up to the giant Canadian flag on the hillside near my house in minus 40 winter weather on New Year's Eve just to see what would happen when the clock struck midnight.

KITTY HAWK AND THE CURSE OF THE YUKON GOLD
This first book of the Kitty Hawk Flying Detective Agency Series introduces Kitty Hawk, an intrepid teenage pilot with her own De Havilland Beaver seaplane and a nose for mystery and intrigue.

After leaving her home in the western Canadian fishing village of Tofino to spend the summer in Alaska studying humpback whales, Kitty finds herself caught up in an unforgettable adventure involving stolen gold, devious criminals, ghostly shipwrecks, and bone-chilling curses.
