In the first version, Tyler, the main character, discovers and plays some music tapes. The story has been revised only slightly. The current edition, available on Amazon in both print and electronic versions, has a new cover with my young friend Claire as model and my old friend Susan Abrams as illustrator. Family Tree, my first book, is back in print after being out of print for some time. My second bit of news is that an old friend has returned. I've had a couple of reading events and will be promoting the book at the AWP Conference (Associated Writing Programs) in Seattle in late February. Yes, bears do get up to mischief, but sadly, we've behaved badly toward them as well, not such good reading for children. And the book is for adults, as some of the content is X-rated. Why? I've had a number of bear encounters, some of them fairly close-up and exciting. It's my first book of nonfiction for adults, a series of braided essays about the American black bear. So I'm starting the New Year off right, with good news times five.įirst, and most exciting, Bear Season has just been released by Autumn House Press. But as they say on some TV show or another, sheee's baaack! And just as bad news seems to clump up and overwhelm us from time to time, just now I have lots of good news to share. In fact there's been too much going on, so I've been preoccupied, mostly by family concerns. For the past year and a half, I've been AWOL, no news, no blog.
