Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katahdin Drowning opens within a nightmare that has haunted amateur sleuth and librarian Jessie Tyler ever since her husband's death two years earlier. An owl's ominous call reminds her that she is in Baxter State Park, and not at the scene of her husband's death. Jessie attempts to shake off the horror as she prepares to climb Maine's tallest mountain with her son, Jonathan; her college friend, Dara Kane; and her neighbor's two daughters, Gina Day and Willa Royce. No sooner does Jessie crawl from her shelter, than an unpleasant woman explodes from another lean-to. Fitness star Veronica Verne rages against the wildlife that most visitors to the park come to see. She vents her fury at innocent bystanders because the boss who sent her here to be filmed climbing Katahdin is back in Boston. By the time Verne begins her hike, she has left a number of upset people in her wake. During her climb, Verne spies someone she's unwilling to face so she turns back towards Katahdin Stream Campground. She is never again seen alive. It is Jessie's displeasure to be among those who find Veronica Verne floating face-down in a pool of water at the base of Katahdin Stream Falls. Once it becomes evident that Veronica Verne was murdered, local and state police are called in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Someone once asked me how much I charge to guide people into the woods. “That’s free,” I explained. “Anyone can get themselves into the woods. You pay me to get you out.” Can anyone really know the northern forest? It is something you feel more in your heart than in your head. You may be able to locate your place on a map, but can you pinpoint the places the forest has hold of your soul? For more than forty years, Maine Guide Earl Brechlin has sought the answers. Through this series of interconnected essays, Brechlin recounts the annual canoe trips to the North Maine Woods he has made with a small group of friends, closing with the death of his twin brother and the group’s last trip to spread his brother’s ashes in the place he loved best. Often humorous and thrilling at once, the heartfelt narrative is peppered with tidbits of history, woods lore, and sage advice from a seasoned outdoorsman. What shines through is the author’s profound love of the natural world and his place in it.

Download or read book Drowning Lessons written by Peter Selgin and published by . This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in Drowning Lessons engage water as both a vital and a potentially hazardous presence in our lives. "You can touch water," says Peter Selgin, "you can taste it and feel its temperature, you can even hold it in your hands. Still it remains elusive, ill-defined, shaped only by what surrounds or contains it." With empathy and wit Selgin introduces us to characters navigating the choppy waters of human relationships. In "Swimming" an avid swimmer fights the stasis in his marriage by prodding his out-of-shape but contented wife to take up the sport--with near-disastrous results. A pond is the setting of "The Wolf House," which tells of the reunion and dissolution of a group of high school friends brought together for a funeral. "The Sinking Ship Man" chronicles a day in the life of an African American caretaker in charge of the only remaining survivor of the Titanic disaster. In "El Malec n" a toothless old Dominican tries to recapture his lost dignity by "borrowing" a shiny Cadillac convertible and aiming it down the coastal highway toward his childhood village. In "The Sea Cure" two travelers in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula confront death in the form of a mysterious woman living in an abandoned beachfront apartment complex. In all thirteen tales in Drowning Lessons, Selgin exhibits a keen eye for the forces that push people toward--and sometimes beyond--their very human limits, forces as intrinsic, elemental, and elusive as the liquid that makes up two-thirds of their bodies. These stories remind us that of all bodies of water, none is deeper or more dangerous than our own.
