NOTE FROM AUTHORThank you so much for considering my book Fire Girl. I want to let you know that 100% of all of my royalties go to the Wildland Fire Fighter Foundation – This cause financially helps the families of wildland firefighters who die in the line of duty. I was one of the first few female firefighters to work for the California Department of Forestry. The year was 1978 and there were only 26 of us girls working for CDF in the entire state that year. We were still treading on new territory. A female had never stepped foot to work at my assigned Northern California CDF station in its 50 year history!It was definitely a man’s world and some weren’t happy when an 18 year old girl that stood 5’2″ and weighed 95 pounds showed up for duty.From the mundane everyday station work to battling raging forest fires with near death experiences, I tell you my story how I remember it those many years ago with humor and honesty! Yeah, I have a “couple good stories” in there! If you are a firefighter past, present or future, thank you for your invaluable service! If you are a family member of a firefighter, thank you for your support!

“Bambi, a Life in the Woods” is a 1923 novel by Austrian author Felix Salten. The story follows the life of a dear called Bambi from his birth, through his childhood and the death of his mother, to finding a mate, learning his father’s lessons, and discovering the dangers posed by human beings. This charming and timeless children’s story would make for perfect bedtime reading and is not to be missed by collectors of classic children’s literature. Felix Salten (1869 – 1945) was an Austrian author and critic. Other notable works by this author include: “Der Gemeine” (1899), “A Forest World” (1942), and “Renni the Rescuer” (1940). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
