VIOLET GIVES A TOUR OF
HER HOME TOWN...
Hi!
I’m Violet Ambrose (also known as THE BODY FINDER).
Those
of you who know me, know that I live in Buckley, a town in Washington State
where nothing much happens. Okay, well, stuff happens. Like serial killers. But
other than that, it’s a pretty quiet place to grow up.
I
spend most of my days here, at White River High School.

It’s
not so bad, I guess...you know, for a school.
But
when I’m not in school, I like to run, and since Buckley is in the foothills of
the Cascades, sometimes I get a great view of Mt. Rainier. In the Northwest, we say, “the mountain is
out” when clouds aren't obscuring it from view. My favorite days are the ones
when I can see this:

And
even though I try to keep this a secret, you may have heard that I’m sorta
prone to finding dead bodies. Sometimes I find them at the worst times, like
when I was jet skiing with my best friend (okay, now he’s my boyfriend), Jay,
and I was drawn to an echo in Lake Tapps. This is what the lake looked like
that day:

As
far as I know, the lake isn’t really
a dumping site for serial killers.
When
I’m not in school, or at the lake, one of my favorite places to hang out with
my friends is at Java Hut.
Confession:
Java Hut isn’t real. But in DEAD SILENCE, there’s a new hangout, a place called
Wally’s Drive In, and that place is as real as it gets. Everyone in Buckley
knows about Wally’s. They have the best shakes around, with different flavors
listed on their sign every month.

Hope
you liked the tour of my town. If you ever make it out my way, you should check
out some of these places for yourself! But don’t blink, because you might just
miss our little town on the way to nowhere.
