Zomboni

I lived in Edmonton for a year and it was the first time that I was surrounded by people who loved hockey more than life itself. Anyone who knows me, knows that sports aren’t my thing, but I do love the run-off passion of others who are obsessed with them.

While listening to a friends discuss his love/hate relationship with the Edmonton Oilers, the idea for Zomboni popped into my head.

Synopsis

Laynie Robinson has an amazing slap shot, but witnessing her mother’s death has left her with a panic-inducing fear of the ice. When a Zamboni possessed by a vengeful spirit starts to terrorize the local arena, she’ll have to sharpen her blades and hit the ice in order to survive sudden death.

It took years before I finally sat down to write it but I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
