Book Description
When not writing his famous Western novels, Zane Grey was an insatiable angler. Tales of Southern Rivers recounts his tales of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Keys, the Everglades, and on remote rivers in the jungles of Mexico. With many of these venues being some of today's most popular saltwater fly-fishing destinations, no one will want to miss these highly entertaining and informative yarns. Armchair fishing will never be the same.

Book Description
Tales From The River is a collection of 33 short stories inspired by the author's sunrise walks through a 300-year old Southern town on the Mississippi River. "Every tale lures you to the next, from the fanciful, to the historical, to the other worldly. Are they real or are they imagined? You'll wonder. I loved it . . . It stirs the imagination. Tales From The River reminded me of Marjorie Rawlings who wrote the Pulitzer-Prize-winning The Yearling. Marjorie's editor, Maxwell Perkins, suggested she write a book appealing to both young and old. Marjorie thought a moment and replied, 'You sit there at your desk and ask me to write a classic.' Which Marjorie did. [Tales From The River] is that kind of book." - Review published in the Commercial Dispatch (Columbus, MS) *** Tales From The River is divided into four parts, with stories for all ages. Part One (children+) Become friends with elves, trolls, sproots, and a pocket mouse! Part Two (middle school+) Discover a magic wishing well . . . meet a special sparrow . . . learn the secret of the Last Leaf . . . eavesdrop on the CIA . . . sneak into an abandoned building at night . . . battle on the high seas . . . ride a fire-breathing dragon . . . survive an alien encounter . . . and dare to enter Dead Man's Cave. Part Three (teens+) Fight in a foggy, dawn skirmish between Union and Confederate soldiers . . . befriend a mysterious old man and his forest creatures . . . join a SEAL team on a dangerous, highly-classified mission . . . and come face to face with ghosts (not all friendly). Part Four (the rest of us) Experience the vibrancy of the world around us . . . read stories that will make you laugh . . . cry . . . and reflect on the importance of family and friendship, the joy and pain of love, and the wonderment of life and what we make of it. Tales From The River will delight and entertain both adult and younger readers. At the end of each story, the author adds a note to the reader, explaining the "idea spark" for the fantastical, haunting, humorous, thrilling, mysterious, or bittersweet tale. Sometimes a fleeting observation can be the catalyst for an amazing story. We need only unleash our imaginations.

Book Description
Along the Mekong, from northern Tibet to Lijiang, from Luang Prabang to Phnom Penh to Can Lo, I moved from one world to another, among cultural islands often ignorant of each other’s presence. Yet each island, as if built on shifting sands and eroded and reshaped by a universal sea, was re-forming itself, or was being remolded, was expanding its horizons or sinking under the rising waters of a cultural global warming. It was a journey between worlds, worlds fragiley conjoined by a river both ominous and luminescent, muscular and bosomy, harsh and sensuous. From windswept plateaus to the South China Sea, the Mekong flows for three thousand miles, snaking its way through Southeast Asia. Long fascinated with this part of the world, former New York Times correspondent Edward Gargan embarked on an ambitious exploration of the Mekong and those living within its watershed. The River’s Tale is a rare and profound book that delivers more than a correspondent’s account of a place. It is a seminal examination of the Mekong and its people, a testament to the their struggles, their defeats and their victories.

Book Description
For half a century, beginning in the early 1960s, Vaughn Short walked, horse-packed, and floated the canyons and mesas of the Southwest. Along the way, stories and poems grew in his mind. Around evening campfires, he shared these pearls with those lucky enough to be in his company. Vaughn Short was our Robert Service, the Poet Lauriat of canyon country. Although Vaughn has moved on, his books of poetry connect us to an earlier time before passage through these areas became common.

Book Description
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND TRAVELERS had crossed the Oregon Trail during the gold rush of 1849. Even the most backwoods warrior understood what that meant: disease, death, and conflict with the whites. As a result of the Treaty of 1851, some Indians were convinced that the country to the north—called Absaraka—might be a better option for a home range. At the very least, it held the promise of less trouble from the whites. The danger from other tribes was another matter.

Book Description
Melody Mahaffey, trapped into touring for years with a third-rate Christian pop band she can hardly stand, is almost relieved to receive her mother's distress call. But when she returns home to care for her dying father and brain-damaged brother at the sprawling, defunct Three Rivers Farm, Melody is shocked to discover that her mother has abandoned the family. Sure that her daughter will do the right thing, Geneva has left to seek spiritual guidance and break things off with her long-time lover. Rain begins to fall and an epic flood threatens the Mississippi Delta. While Melody tries to get a handle on the chaos at home, a man and his little boy are squatting on her land, escaping their own nightmare. Obi is on the run from a horrific mistake, and he's intent on keeping his son with him at any cost. When the storm arrives, though, they have no choice but to take shelter in Melody's house. And the waters just keep rising. A lifetime of lies, misunderstandings and dark secrets bubble to the surface as the flood destroys the land and threatens their lives. Set against the fertile but dangerous landscape of the rural south near the fictional town of White Forest, Mississippi, Three Rivers beautifully weaves together three parallel stories, told over three days, as each character is propelled headlong into the storm.
