I'm a writer living in Little Switzerland, North Carolina and enjoying the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains!

My novel 'Souls of the North Wind' is available to directors/producers/filmmakers and screenwriters for option/purchase.

On the Canadian Tundra superstitions and spirits come to life! When 14 year old Iksik returns from a trading trip to the white man's village in the midst of a late snowstorm he is hounded by a Nattilik witch's curse, bringing death to the Ihalmiut. Ancient predators thought to be only Inuit legends have returned to the barrens to spill innocent blood. Iksik and his cousin Kiviok set off on a dangerous journey through the harsh wilderness and to the sea in search of the witch who inflicted the curse only to discover they're being stalked by a huge, yellow-eyed beast!

A 'Silver' winner of the 2005 ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year Award, 'Souls of the North Wind' is a fast-paced adventure set on the harsh lands of the Canadian Tundra during the early 1900s era. The main characters are based on the Ihalmiut band of Inuit researched by the Canadian writer, Farley Mowat (Never Cry Wolf) in his non-fiction books 'People of the Deer' and 'The Desperate People'.

Excerpt from 'Souls of the North Wind'
Iksik ran to his cousin's side, grabbing up the wolf-head harpoon. At the curve in the trail a large shadow cascaded over the rocks...They heard the loud panting of the beast just before it rounded the corner, staring straight at them. A light breeze brought the overwhelming stench of its body. It was the smell of a beast that slept in its own filth. The long shaggy hair covering its massive chest was layered with the dried blood of old kills...

Review of 'Souls of the North Wind'
"Reminiscent of Jack London's 'Call of the Wild', her writing combines a gentleness of touch with a fine eye for detail...McVay's largeness of heart...is what really enhances a unique storytelling style that will burrow into reader's hearts..." Patrice Tappee, Rapid River Arts Magazine 2005.
