River Survival Books Now

I've just finished writing and uploading the third book in the River Survival Series. These digital books can be uploaded to any computer, but are especially designed for Kindle or Nook readers. The advantage of these readers is that, like a personal computer, you can have a thousand books on one little device.

 River Survival Series

 

The first book is 319 pages. I chose a new book cover to reflect the second editions greater scope of survival tactics and warfare. There's alot of brutal details, so this could classify as a horor post -grid collapse work of fiction.

 

The second book in the series takes place in a small comunity on the Mississipi River. They are struggling to rebuild after the collapse, and must fight criminals coming down the river as well as cannibals raiding from Chicago. It has 349 pages of drama, brutality, sex and violence. Beware. Not a book for kids. We meet the Resistance Movement, which will play a vital role in book four.

Barnes and Nobel  carries the series too. 

 

 

Book three was pretty intense for me. I wrote some steamy love scenes, as well as delved into Apache's past. Not for weak stomachs. We find out a lot about Sheriff Snyder, who is haunted daily. Majors gone AWOL, the Hub in Cleveland, and Carla all get serious. With the Federal Government planing a Clean Sweep Campaign for early spring, book four will have more hororr in store.

 

 

After reading any and all of these books, Please, write a review on Amazon for me. I would really appreciate it.

Angry as Ice

 

I'm getting every last thing out of my car that I may need or want for the next 6 months. I nearly forgot my silnylon custom tent and tarp. Might be a handy survival piece once I get skiing in the back country.

 

Looks like the Lake will be freezing up soon. I brushed 2.5 inches of  new snow off my car this morning. I'm supposed to get out tomorow, drive to the North entrance and go to Bozeman. We'll see.

Yellowstone Weather Outlook

I discovered this page while surfing for real up to date weather reports on Lake Yellowstone. I was stunned how cold it is already. You can see nothing is going to melt anytime soon. Its only October. I can't wait to get there.

Right now I'm visiting family, taking care of business, spending time with my friends.

So, car is prepared. I bought some Stay-bil so I can park it for awhile, not worry about the gas going bad.

Stay warm is going to be a really trite phrase in a little while. I'll be writing a lot on my time off. Right now I'm working hard on Book Three of the River Survival Series, called, When Hell Comes Knocking. I hope to have it completely finished by the end of Novemeber.

The first two books are available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Nobel. They deal with a couple living up in the mountains in N. E. Georgia. Suddenly the grid goes down, but they don't know it for a week because of how remote they are. Once they head to town, a week later, they find out the truth. Suddenly, everything changes when folks start taking sides, Contributors, Outliers, and the worst possible position, a Transient. I write about murder, revenge, and the decsent into cannibalism, on both sides of the law.

Then, of course, I'll keep a journal on my experiences up at the Man Camp. There's no telling what fun and adventure awaits. My son-in-law says I need a GPS. Could get lost on a skiing adventure, maybe a white out. Humm, I could! I get lost coming out of Walmart, looking for my car.

Surviving Yet Another Deep Cleaning

I'm here at my daughter's, minimizing yet again, preparing to go back to Yellowstone for the winter. Three years back, a fellow seasonal worker was watching me squeeze stuff into my little blue Geo. He paused from his packing into a large pickup and trailer, looked over and said, "You need a bigger car." I replied, "I need less junk!"

Friday the remaining survivors of the Mammoth F and B deep cleaned the Employee Dining Room hot line, grill, fryer and cold service area, and the dish pit. The day before I'd prepped 25 7 inch pizzas for today, and taken apart the walk-in, with the help of the Prep Cook Lead and deep cleaned it.
Now, today, while seriously good music coming from the Manager's laptop, speakers turned up on auxiliary speakers included, I chose to do the reach in up front, the flat top, overhead grills, working next to the Lead doing the deep fryer. At one point she looked at me, asked, How did we get roped into the dirty part? I replied, cause we can really hear the music!

Some people time their work agreements so they miss the final deep cleaning. After all, its messy, lots of grease and chemicals coming into play, getting down on hands and knees, dragging out those rare two month old biscuits that somehow eluded us all season underneath the kitchen "furniture."

I call all that equipment furniture. Has a nice ring to it.

Anyways, after surviving, enjoying even, another deep clean, forming life lasting bonds with co-workers also into the final days, I look forward...groan, actually my own STUFF is much harder to cope with.......to deep cleaning my baby, the GEO.

Pre-Packing and Minimalism

I'm getting it all together, my purchases from Cabella, my free box finds and my personal gear. I've got six months of toothpaste, laundry soap and shampoo, etc. Use your imagination. What would a gal need for six months up in Yellowstone, snowed in?

I probably will be able to catch a ride up to Snow lodge by snowmobile, enjoy the Winter Olympics there with friends also wintering in Yellowstone.
This is a life time dream, winter in Yellowstone.
The bucket list must be respected, before it's too late.

At breakfast I heard a young girl telling her traveling companions she dreamt they died on the bus. They immediately started berating her for negativity. I kept reading my book, The Fear Index, by Robert Harris. It deals with market manipulation and the fear driven profits. Its a novel, I'm on page 100. Published in 2012, it tells of an ultra-rich genius being attacked by an intruder in his own fortified home, bringing on a "waking nightmare of violence and paranoia".

 

View of the Lake Complex from Elephant Back Mountain, cell service is available from the bench up there.

 

I will keep a journal while working up at Lake Yellowstone this winter. Some claim vehemently that the historic hotel is haunted. My journal begins, "I can't say I wasn't warned...."

Winter at Lake Yellowstone Man Camp

Tomorow I'm going into Gardiner to get my brakes done. I was riding around town with a friend and he said my brakes were shot, they sounded terrible.

Well, I thought I just had them done, but really, the way time flys, its probably been a couple years by now.

So, stopping in the local tire and brake shop, the mechanic put it up on the rack, sure enough, metal on metal, the pads are gone. Humm, I replied, I been driving around like that, down Rosevelt and such, curves and thousand foot drop offs, not knowing thats what that noise was.

While I'm in the shop, I'll have the guy tell me all about preparing my car for Yellowstone winter. I got a job cooking for the construction crew up at Lake Hotel. Its going to be amazing, snowed in with about 40 hardy eaters. Out of a ton of applicants, I was chosen to complete the culinary crew of 4. Our kitchen was pulled in before I left Lake Lodge Location, transferring here for the remainder of my work agreement.

 

One of the best things about this location is watching the multitudes of female elks wandering around, and the few bull elks attempting to herd them, bugling their challenges. We can hear them all night long, making an eerie back drop to full moonlit nights.

I've had alot of people asking me how I plan to get out, spend my days off, get into town.
I plan to park the winterized vehicle at West Yellowstone, take a snow coach there maybe once a month. A full bore shopping trip to Bozeman is sceduled for Thursday, for all the toiletries a woman needs in -40 degree weather, 10 feet of snow on the ground. Skis!

I'll keep you all posted on winter at Lake Yellowstone. It will be an experience of a life time. I'll cook tons of comfort foods for hungry guys, ski, read, write, watch satelite t-v if we get it. I do think we'll have internet!
