I really need to write the sequel to this.
Cover of Haunted by Cathy Pegau Green background with illustrated blonde white woman in a lavender sweater and capris standing in front of the large silhouette of a woman's head with a house in woodsy mountain scene filling it.

Also, this was actually filmed in/near our town, and I based some events from its production on events in one of my Charlotte Brody books, Murder on Location 😁
Blonde white woman wearing a knit hat with goggles atop, in a white fur-lined old fashioned mountaineering outfit, wearing red gloves and purple and black Argyle socks standing on a glacier. A trio of men with an old film camera on a tripod are behind her.

A Movie that takes place where you're from.

OK, not where I was born, but from here now ;)
Movie poster/display for "The Chechahcos" showing a man running a dog sled with a woman sitting on the sled against a snowy hillside with two spruce trees. For the text: the pronounced CHEE-CHAW-KOS; Only picture ever actually made in Alaska; Associated Exhibitors Arthur S. Kane, President; Physical Distributor Pathe Exchange, Inc.; Foreign Representative Sidney Garrett; Encore Pictures

I'm not lazy, I'm catted.
And there's a fire in the wood stove on a snowy day.
I am a victim of my environment.
Brown and white tabby on blanketed lap, two black socked feet sticking out, black dog on tan carpet, two recliner chairs and a couch, and a black wood stove with a fire glowing in it.
