A riveting collection of adventure narratives
"Exquisite, urgent memories, truly powerful, supernova and all. I can smell it."
–Craig Childs, author
"Thank you for your willingness to work with us and excitement! We love reading about your adventurous excursions with the way you bring people to life and also paint a vivid picture that those who have never even been on a river can even see and experience.
–From the editors at Canyon Voices
“…[G]reat stories—ones that would appeal to more than the river crowd.”
—Scott Thybony, author of the Incredible Grand Canyon, Rock Art of the American Southwest, and Outlaws and Gunslingers
“There is a life which is interesting, reflective, reactive, honest and raw. There is plenty to relate to on a feeling, human level…. I laughed, cried, bit my nails, and felt like I was privy to a very personal story…. Your descriptions of places and events take me there and are worded with some very good turns of phrase that make me emphatically say, YES!”
—Deb Dohm, editor
“It was just terrific—interesting, informative, colorfully descriptive, increasingly intense, exciting, dramatic! I thoroughly enjoyed it, every word of it, ... When's the next fabulous tale?”
—Ann Waybur, 90-year-old former Grand Canyon client (the first woman to graduate UC Berkeley summa-cum-laude in 1941)
