May 2020: “Tales from the Hunt Camp Porch”…..Rough draft submitted to the Publisher for an Editors Manuscript Evaluation
“I definitely think there is a market for a book like this, I enjoyed this book. I’m not a hunter and I am pretty squeamish about the whole gun idea… Most importantly, the stories were predominantly focused on the family and social aspects of hunting. I particularly enjoyed the very human stories and the self-deprecating humour you used throughout, and I laughed out loud during the turkey article ($$$) and the article called “That dog don’t hunt!”.
