HOT OFF THE PRESS
Recent regional author offerings:
• ”Fly-fishing the Arctic Circle to Tasmania” by James W. White. Published by Resource Publications, an Imprint of Wipf and Stock Publishers. Summary: Twelve ebullient stories of adventure, travel and international fly-fishing are told. They are undergirded by a singular autobiographical story that weaves James White’s passion for fly-fishing with his vocation in ministry.
• ”Bears Don’t Care About Your Problems” by Brendan Leonard. Published by Mountaineers Books. Summary: If you’ve ever considered the absurdity of sleeping on the ground in a place where bears live, pooping in a bag on a glacier or trying to teach someone you love a sport that scares them to the point of loudly threatening to kill you in front of strangers, “Bears Don’t Care About Your Problems” will make you laugh.
