Mystery, Romance, Skiing and those who love Vermont....an interview with the author

Moonlight in Vermont

John Hilferty: Here are two short summaries: 

Lying helpless and drugged with painkillers in an Italian hospital, Ethan Atwood, a World Cup ski racer, is visited in the dark of night by Lina Biancavello, who is wealthy, lovely and determined. Her visit upends Ethan's plans to marry Marie Queensbury, his long-time love in Vermont, sending him on a downward spiral of drunkenness and depression.   When a corpse is found frozen on a ski lift where it had been trapped overnight, the question arises: Was it a suicide, an accident, or something else? 

Moonlight in Vermont, a Novel, which is set in New England, Colorado and the Alps of Europe against a thrill-filled background of ski racing, deals with a man's struggle to exist without the one he loves the most. A summary reads:  "Like the mountain stream in winter rushing unseen beneath dark ice, the love that is forbidden will seek a coming out wherever it can, never finding lasting release in something as honest and soft as moonlight, but it will burst forth beneath the cold wind of seduction and betrayal, jealousy and rage, and finally, death itself."
