Goodnight Sunshine

by Mark Cameron

Overview

Sleepwalking through life on a quiet island near Seattle, Oliver Bruce is struck twice in one day. Emerging unscathed from an accident that leaves his SUV a crumpled mess, Oliver finds a fragment of a letter about an invention that could change the global energy landscape. The discovery brings Oliver face-to-face with the widening chasm between his mundane existence as a middle-aged family man and the richer life he longs for.

Oliver is drawn to locate the invention by embarking on a journey to the jungles of Ecuador, where he places trust in an enigmatic young beauty—while believing with increasing certainty that he is being followed.

Told against a backdrop of colorful characters and exotic locations, Goodnight Sunshine unwinds Oliver's gradual descent from youthful optimism to mid-life malaise, ultimately forcing him to re-evaluate his core beliefs and face the true source of his discontent.

Goodnight Sunshine was longlisted for the 2016 Whistler Independent Book Awards.

About the Author

In 2010, Mark climbed into a 19-foot Okanagan camper van with his wife and two children, trading work stress for family drama as they traveled extensively throughout Canada and the United States. In the midst of this journey, Mark took a three-week detour through Ecuador to volunteer at a biological reserve. Fuelled by his recent experiences and a what-do-we-want-to-be-when-we-grow-up discussion with his wife, Mark embarked on writing his debut novel, Goodnight Sunshine. He is now hard at work on his second and third novels, while unschooling his children and starting a new business, in the beautiful seaside town of Gibsons on the west coast of Canada.
