Paperback – December 7, 2005

The story of “Fish Creek: A Western Adventure” came to be put down on paper at the urging of friends and relatives who constantly told me I had a way with telling stories and the stories I told were interesting and that they liked to hear me tell them. With their encouragement I put pen to paper and have told of my adventures as a boy growing up and then as a young man and his desire to see America and the world. The accounts in this narrative are true and to the best of my ability accurate; after forty-two years the names of some of the people have faded, but they were real people and the impact they made on my life was real. In fact, I don’t think that it makes much difference what a person’s name is, but it is the relationship you develop with the person and what you learn from them and share with them that is important. This is a story of many of those relationships, as well as my thoughts of man and his relationship with his environment.

The Chinese Beverly Hills (Jack Liffey Mysteries)
Rated 0 out of 5

by John Shannon (Author)
Jack Liffey's former mistress reappears to plead for the P.I.'s help finding her missing niece. The hunt leads Liffey to Monterey Park, where he dives into an undercurrent of racial tension that puts the peace of the small suburb in jeopardy. Meanwhile, a fire burns in the hills above Los Angeles, offering a sinister reminder that few events in life are coincidental. But Liffey's sudden troubles with racist gangs, teenage revolutionaries, and South African nutjobs are dwarfed by the threat his old mistress poses to his relationships with his new girlfriend and his recently reconciled lesbian daughter. What's a hard-boiled dick to do? Exploding with wry wit, The Chinese Beverly Hills is tense and thought-provoking, with the quirkiness that Shannon's fans have come to expect.

Jumping Fire: A Smokejumper's Memoir of Fighting Wildfire

by Murry A. Taylor (Author)
During one incendiary summer, Murry Taylor kept an extensive journal of his day-to-day activities as an Alaskan smokejumper. It wasn't his first season fighting wildfires, and he's far from being a rookie—he's been on the job since 1965. Through this narrative of one busy season, Taylor reflects on the years of training, the harrowing adrenaline-fueled jumps, his brushes with death, the fires he conquered, and the ones that got away. It's a world full of bravado, one with epic battles of man versus nature, resulting in stories of death-defying defeats, serious injury, and occasionally tragedy. We witness Taylor's story; learn of the training, preparation, technology, and latest equipment used in fighting wildfires; and get to know his fellow smokejumpers in the ready room, on the tundra, and in the vast forests of one of the last great wilderness areas in the world. Often thrilling and informative and always entertaining, Taylor's memoir is one of the first autobiographical accounts of a legendary career.

Rated 0 out of 5

by Peter M. Leschak (Author)
Journey with Peter Leschak, wildland firefighter, as he explores the warrior spirit--a genderless code emphasizing personal integrity, responsibility, patience, will, commitment, and inner courage, forged through life's "trials by fire." Using his professional experiences fighting forest fires as a vivid metaphor for the warrior code, Peter weaves captivating tales of raging wildfires, the warm camaraderie and good-natured competition of a small-town tavern packed with smokejumpers, the clarity of the night sky, the subtleties of an ancient Chinese board game-all offering profound lessons in the quest for a new understanding of life and its purpose. To each episode, Peter brings the soul of a poet contemplating life in the face of imminent death, as well as a professional firefighter's keen apprehension of hazardous operations and fascination with the seductive allure of a blazing inferno. Readers can dip into these pages for a vicarious jolt of adrenaline-or use Trials by Wildfire as a roadmap in their own search for life meaning.
