This book chronicles a lifetime of outdoor adventures primarily fly fishing lakes, rivers and streams throughout Wisconsin, as well as a few hunting and fishing excursions beyond. The stories largely begin and culminate on my beloved home waters of the Menominee River located in northeastern Wisconsin which I have fished for over 50 years. This wonderful, scenic river is currently threatened by a massive open pit mine that has recently received several permit approvals from the State of Michigan. The mine would be built 150 feet from its banks and would include a huge tailings pond that would produce toxic chemicals that will likely leach into the river over time. These true stories are written for anyone that enjoys reading about outdoor pursuits, but my hope is that it will also inspire others to get involved in advocating for precious natural resources that are threatened across the country. Profits from this book will be donated to organizations that are fighting to preserve the Menominee River.

From the author of the international best seller House of Leaves and National Book Award–nominated Only Revolutions comes a monumental new novel as dazzling as it is riveting. The Familiar (Volume 1) ranges from Mexico to Southeast Asia, from Venice, Italy, to Venice, California, with nine lives hanging in the balance, each called upon to make a terrifying choice. They include a therapist-in-training grappling with daughters as demanding as her patients; an ambitious East L.A. gang member contracted for violence; two scientists in Marfa, Texas, on the run from an organization powerful beyond imagining; plus a recovering addict in Singapore summoned at midnight by a desperate billionaire; and a programmer near Silicon Beach whose game engine might unleash consequences far exceeding the entertainment he intends. At the very heart, though, is a twelve-year-old girl named Xanther who one rainy day in May sets out with her father to get a dog, only to end up trying to save a creature as fragile as it is dangerous . . . which will change not only her life and the lives of those she has yet to encounter, but this world, too—or at least the world we think we know and the future we take for granted. (With full-color illustrations throughout.) Like the print edition, this eBook contains a complex image-based layout. It is most readable on e-reading devices with larger screen sizes.
