We’ve just returned from a week in Denali National Park where we were surrounded by immense beauty. I feel fortunate to live just a couple hours away from a jewel of a National Park.
Denali, the highest peak in North America at 20,310 feet was visible for part of our trip.
We also got to watch—from a safe distance—a grizzly bear nurse her cubs.
Then, we arrived home to surprise. Author copies of Follow the River—my follow-up novel to Surviving Bear Island. It’s an adventure/survival story with the same main character (Tom Parker) from Surviving Bear Island, but can be read as a stand-alone novel, and is a Junior Library Guild Selection.
Follow The River comes out August 20th but you can pre-order it now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your local Indie bookstore.
I’ll be spending my writing time the next several months working on Book 3 of the Surviving Bear Island Series. In a few weeks when school starts and I’m back in the classroom, I’ll be back to more of an early morning, write-a-chapter-before-work schedule which I hope to sustain four mornings per week and then let the writing spill into other time slots as well.
Thanks for reading.
