Book Description
Wed and widowed in one day, stunning socialite Amelia Sinclair’s honeymoon is anything but typical. Then again, neither is Amelia—rebellious and impulsive, marrying Robert Collingsworth was the one sensible thing she ever did. Now he’s dead and she must escape the vicious creatures stalking her—even if it means relying on a stranger. Well, maybe not a complete stranger. Amelia first glimpsed Gabriel Wulf years ago on the busy streets of London; since then he has haunted her dreams. But in the flesh, Gabriel is much more tantalizing than she ever dreamt, and much more complicated…
Gabriel Wulf, the strong one, the sensible one—the, and the curse that plagued them, were his only priorities; there was little time for women and none for love. Now, he must protect an enticing beauty—and not just from the dangers that prowl the woods around them. Gabriel has secrets, dark ones he’s sure Amelia must never know and could never understand. But she has already awakened his heart...and the beast within. Will Amelia be the key to his salvation, or the architect of her own demise?

The Cursed One- A Joyfully Recommended Title .......2007-08-13
Gabriel Wulf arrives at Collingsworth Manor just in time to save Lady Amelia Collingsworth from her husband. The mystery deepens when the only member of the household staff left, a young maid named Mora, tells a story of wolves who can turn into men in the forest around them.
Through the night Gabriel, Amelia and Mora fight to stay alive while they are stalked by the wild creatures until they are forced to escape; their destination is Wulfglen, Gabriel's familial estate. Gabriel is unsure if they'll make it there and if he can stop his growing attraction to Amelia.
Along the way Gabriel and Amelia give in to their attraction, but even if they make it to Wulfglen alive, Gabriel knows he can never be with Amelia now that the curse that effects all the Wulf men has struck him too. How could she accept him when he now resembles the very creatures they are running from?
The Cursed One had me on the edge of my seat from the first line to the last. As the danger escalates, so does the attraction between Amelia and Gabriel. The Cursed One is a dark, gripping story with engaging characters, a sensual romance, and a thrilling mystery.
The fight may be over for now, but danger still lurks. Perhaps we'll get to see the Wulf men or their sons or daughters again if the threat returns.

Third Book in Series is Cursed!.......2007-04-07
The exciting story and sexy Wulf brothers of London in the first two books I read in the series was lacking in this third book. I did not feel that Gabriel(another Wulf) brother and Amelia (his love interest) were fleshed out enough. Therefore I couldn't get behind these characters. Mora, the servant girl, was more interesting! Since this story is supposed to be about another Wulf brother I think I bit more information about his life and background were in order. Of course there was always brittle sparring between the Gabriel and Amelia and then every chapter or so Gabriel would some up her personality. 'her sense of humor' 'her kindness', blah, blah..yet I saw no indication of this! The plot didn't make sense to me. They were being chased by shapeshifters, yet Gabriel an Aelia seemed to outrun them on foot. The author spent much of the book repeating phrases as if she was out of ideas eg.'get to the safety of Wulfglen', 'our family is cursed','I must remain by myself'. Why not give us some flashbacks or fill out Gabriel's character! The ending got exciting for a few chapters, then fizzeled. Then it was back to 'we must get to the safety of Wulfglen' 'then I will be alone again, yadda, yadda, yadda. This 3rd instalment did nothing for me! It was the cursed one!
The Cursed One (Wild Wulfs of London).......2007-03-10
I loved this book. I love how Mrs. Thompson writes, I can see everything in vivid detail as I read the book.
Okay for werewolf romance.......2007-03-09
These books were not quite what I was looking to read. I read a short story by Ronda Thompson and liked it very much. I searched online and found her series of books on the Wulf brothers. Since I like to read a few books in a row from the same author, I ordered hers. The stories were sweet, but all the same. I guess I like my preternatural creatures a bit edgier and scarier. If you like romance novels, these are for you. Don't get me wrong. I read them all. The stories kept me reading, but I needed more excitement.
Book Description
Rosalind Rutherford knows full well the scandal she courts when she attempts to seduce the notorious Armond Wulf—in fact, she’s counting on it as a means to escape her sadistic stepbrother’s control. Unfortunately, Lord Wulf’s better instincts prevail...although not before he gives Rosalind a tantalizing taste of what she’s missing. And when the opportunity arises to rescue Armond from a grim fate while changing her own, Rosalind knows she must seize it...
Armond can no more ignore the Rutherford woman than his ancestor could resist the temptress who cursed the Wulf men with a terrifying transformation that occurs at the appearance of the full moon—and is set in motion by love. Now, to save her reputation and his freedom, Armond must marry Rosalind. But he vows that while they may share the pleasures of the marriage bed, she will never have his heart...
Yet as strange and mysterious events bring them closer in body and soul, Armond finds it increasingly difficult to keep his feelings for his new wife locked away. Especially when the reality of unquenchable desire—and certain danger—burn stronger than ever by the light of a full moon...

Kudos to a Master of Paranormal Romance.......2007-07-15
Ronda,
You were always one of the best, one of the first to teach me the joys of paranormal and werewolves. I shall always remember you for that, and for your kindness when we met online. Your work is flawless, and original in ways that other authors envy. You will definitely be missed! Condolences to your family, should they read this, and I hope you are looking down on us from above, and enjoying all the great memorials being posted out there for you, because you deserve it!
a little to howl about...........2007-06-13
as other reviewers mentioned this is a fairly good paranormal romance set in a historical time period. As someone who reads primarily historical romances I really liked that it was set in regency times as most paranormals are set in modern day-which I'm not that interested in.
The book does have some problems-my main problem being the situation between Rosalind and her lady's maid Lydia. Lydia was raped and brutalized by Rosalind's stepbrother (Rosalind was also being beaten by him), was begged not to confront him, but Rosalind does anyway, causing Lydia's death. I don't understand why female authors have to make female characters act so stupidly like this-doing something that would obviously cause pain to the person who took them into their confidence.
Besides the above stupid action-the book was exciting and I enjoyed the fact that the villains were truly villainous-very cruel and sadistic-but that makes their overthrow all the better:). I found Rosalind to be a strong heroine-she behaves a bit stupidly a couple of times-but redeems herself in the end by literally standing by her man. Armand is everything a paranormal or Gothic hero should be-dark and brooding that hides a wounded facade that the heroine must uncover. The love scenes are highly sensual but interspersed with enough romance to take the "edge" off.
The storyline is interesting done as the 4 brothers are not werewolves in the traditional sense but under a curse. The secondary characters are what make the story and have interested me enough that I want to read the others in the series.
All in all-not the best paranormal I've read but exciting enough that I would recommend it to Historical Romance fans and Paranormal fans looking for something a bit different.
3.5 stars.

Ronda Thompson has always been a master at the paranormal, but she's taken it to a new level with her new "The Wild Wulfs of London" series. Beginning with THE DARK ONE, we're immersed into a paranormal regency world where nothing is what it seems, and where the choices you make might not have the outcome that you had proposed.
For Lady Rosalind Rutherford, things have gone from bad to worse. Her stepbrother, Franklin Chapman, has incurred large gambling debts that he cannot pay off. He's unable to sell the estate he's been living in, since it was a gift to his late mother from her late husband, the Duke of Montrose. Even if he'd been able to find a way to get around the fact that the estate wasn't his own, now that his stepsister Rosalind has come to live in the home, there's no discernible way to erase his debt. So Franklin, in typical evil-rogue style, decides to marry his dear stepsister off to the highest bidder, and use the acquired funds to clear his gambling debts.
The Chapman estate sits next to that of the Wulf's, a family of brothers cursed by an ancient witch many years ago. Love was their downfall, and now, whenever there's a full moon, the Wulf's turn into something much more dangerous than mere men. But when Lord Armond Wulf is introduced to Lady Rosalind at the first ball of the season, he's immediately smitten-or, more accurately, immediately filled with lust for the raven-haired beauty. Armond, however, knows that he's doomed to live a life of solitude, a life without the warmth and love of a woman. A woman caused their family's downfall, and he's determined to now allow the same to happen to him.
However, Lady Rosalind has other ideas. She has no plans to sit idly by while her stepbrother sells her off like cattle, so she sets out to do the one thing that might foil his plan-ruin her reputation so far beyond repair that no one will want to marry her. And she's found the perfect way towards this sinful fall from grace-Armond Wulf, a man who already has the type of reputation she wishes for herself.
Unfortunately, even though Armond has no desire to marry, he does desire Rosalind, and now that scandal threatens them both he has no choice but to offer her marriage. But what will happen when the full moon rises over London, and Rosalind discovers exactly what type of man she's fallen in love with? And as for Lord Wulf, what happens when a man destined by a curse to never love fully finds himself heading in that direction-even though he's vowed to never allow his heart to rule his emotions? As mysterious happenings surround Armond and Rosalind, as their hearts move ever closer to a full unity, and as the full moon approaches, you'll never guess of the surprises that are in store for you.
Ronda Thompson has created a delightful new series with her Wulf family, and I for one can't wait to see which brother will be featured next. Set in 1800's London, THE DARK ONE is a romantic paranormal romp that's sure to delight readers of the genre. Kudos to Ms. Thompson for this unique and exciting new series!

The rodeo is in W.K. Stratton's blood. He attended his first one in utero just days before he was born (on Will Rogers birthday, naturally). He is also the son of a bull-riding cowboy that left him and his mother when Stratton was an infant. The search for this elusive "rodeo bum" father is an underlying theme of Chasing the Rodeo but its main focus is on the action in the ring. Stratton spent a year following the professional rodeo and bull-riding tours and he explores the circuit with a keen and sympathetic eye. He writes about the history of the sport and its place in the mythology of the West, cowboy legends, current stars, and classic rodeo towns, such as Prescott, Arizona, and Pecos, Texas--both of which claim the title as the true birthplace of rodeo. He also looks at the growing popularity of rodeo and bull-riding and what it means for its future now that major events have corporate sponsors and are held in Las Vegas casinos rather than fairgrounds. While acknowledging that the big money prizes are good for the athletes, Stratton worries that marketing considerations will force the sport away from the very traditions that make it interesting. As proof, he bemoans the fact that helmets and Nike shoes are starting to replace Western hats and boots at some rodeos. Still, he encounters plenty of true Western spirit and memorable characters during his journey to keep his love for the rodeo alive and his enthusiasm for his subject proves contagious. Even those who have never considered attending a rodeo will likely find themselves enthralled by this wild ride of a book. --Shawn Carkonen
Book Description
From its roots as the quintessential Western pastime, rodeo has grown to an international, prime-time television sport. Steeped in tradition and the independent spirit of the range, aspiring cowboys and cowgirls are called to its high-stakes, rough-and-tumble fame as they risk their lives for eight seconds of triumph.
In Chasing the Rodeo W. K. Stratton follows this quest for one season of the pro rodeo and bull-riding tours. He explores the history of the chutes -- from rodeo's disputed origins (Prescott, Arizona, or Pecos, Texas?) to its current skyrocketing popularity. But out on the trail Stratton finds more than calf-roping and unrideable bulls, uncovering a culture complete with myths, codes of honor, million-dollar purses, Cowboy Church, and the kinds of legends that make good stories unforgettable.
Just such a story emerges here as Stratton tells of his runaway "rodeo bum" father --Cowboy Don -- whose specter haunts his travels on the circuit. As he learns more about the life that proved too seductive for his father to abandon, Stratton fills in a portrait of the man he never knew but whose legacy he couldn't help but inherit.
Filled with cowboy longing and rodeo dreams, this is a tribute to the characters of the West -- Freckles Brown, Lucille Mulhall (the first cowgirl), Wild Bill Hickock, Lane Frost, and today's superstars like Jesse Bail. In the great tradition of Wallace Stegner and Ken Kesey, W. K. Stratton fashions an expansive tale out of the gritty reality of the life around us. Chasing the Rodeo is a bucking, riveting, glorious ride -- you'll want to hang on for the whole go-round.

Call of the wild . . ........2007-08-21
While rodeo insiders may find fault with this book and quibble over details, it remains an excellent introduction to the history, the personalities, and the meaning of this sport as it's evolved over the past century. Stratton, a journalist based in Austin, TX, with roots in Oklahoma, comes by his "kicker" credentials fairly enough - his mother a cowgirl in her own right and his father a rodeo cowboy who went on down the road and never came back. Stratton's book is a personal journey, a search for an understanding of the romance of rodeo - the call of the wild in the soul, the appeal of risk-taking, the love of a past that can be recaptured for a moment in a beautifully executed ride on a bucking horse or bull. And he does much to reclaim the essentials of a pastoral ritual that has been compromised by commercialism, corporate sponsorships, and marketing that positions it as an extreme sport.
Stratton covers some familiar ground that will not be new for all readers, but many stories deserve retelling, such as that of George Fletcher at the 1911 Pendleton Roundup, the first bulldogger, Bill Pickett, and the death of champion bull rider Lane Frost. Then there is an account of the first rodeo "cowgirl," Lucille Mulhall and of Indian cowboy Will Sampson, who played Chief Bromden in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." In Prescott, AZ, he has occasion to recall at length the rodeo film "Junior Bonner" with Steve McQueen.
There is a wide array of other personalities who find their way into Stratton's book: Justin McBride, Will Rogers, Tom Mix, Willie Nelson, Jack Kerouac, Ben Johnson, Theodore Roosevelt, Buffalo Bill Cody, and evangelist Susie Luchsinger. He gets closest to the sport itself in conversations with all-around champion Jesse Bail and bullriding champion Freckles Brown. The first-chapter account of Brown's famous ride on Tornado at the National Finals in 1967 just takes your breath away. Finally there is the search for the story of Stratton's absent cowboy father, which rounds out the book with more than a little poignance. I loved this book and recommend it to anyone curious about rodeo, the fascination it holds for both fans and participants, and its place in American popular culture.
Exploring the history of chutes to its current popularity and uncovering myths and realities alike.......2005-11-04
Rodeo's roots may be in the primitive West of the past, but today it's prime-time TV material, even while steeped in tradition, filled with pros and tours. Journalist W.K. Stratton followed the pro rodeo circuit for one year, exploring the history of chutes to its current popularity and uncovering myths and realities alike. His findings about the people and politics of today's rodeo make for lively reading in Chasing The Rodeo: On Wild Rides And Big Dreams, Broken Hearts And Broken Bones, And One Man's Search For The West. A spirited account of today's wild riders.
Rodeo: Universality of the American West.......2005-09-19
Having grown up in Texas, I easily recognize many names and places and am quite familiar with rodeos. W.K. Stratton brilliantly blends the romantic lure of the rodeo as an expression of the American West with the univeral theme of the quest for identity. The book is a delightful mixture of colorful characters, amusing anecdotes, and sad stories. Mr. Stratton's personal quest mirrors that of all, not just those familiar with the sport or the region. His story's appeal lies in the universality of each human's struggles with issues of identity, values, and sense of place. I heartily recommend Chasing the Rodeo to anyone who appreciates a book that both transports one to another time and place and allows one the opportunity to be inspired by another's personal journey through life.
This book deserves a buckle........2005-05-18
**For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?** "Kip" Stratton has written a winner of a book, here. I felt it appropriate to begin this review with that familiar biblical quote, although "Chasing The Rodeo" is about the search for soul as well as about its diminution. What I mean by "soul" in this context is that which makes us part of society as well as unique individuals within it. Stratton's father, whom he never met, was a bull rider. Stratton's literal search for his father is overlaid onto his broader search for the soul of the rodeo and the American West.
As this book makes clear, the towns that hold rodeos provide an essential part of its unique character. Moving the National Finals Rodeo from Oklahoma, which is steeped in Rodeo tradition, to Las Vegas is symbolic of the sacrifce of soul for that most America of obsessions, making money. Character is also lost when things are made safe and sanitary, and when elements that are foreign are incorporated into a thing in order to make it "accessible" to a wider audience. Early in the book, Stratton frets about being "a generic, white bread American" but learns that the "Kicker Culture" is as much a part of him as it is of the Rodeo. I grew up in a small town in North Texas and will tell you that the "Kicker Culture" ain't pretty and it ain't sanitary or even safe, but it is genuine. There are parts of it that should be eschewed entirely, but never "prettied up."
Stratton obviously spent a great deal of time researching this book. It is chock-full of the people and places that make up this sport and their history. At the same time, he does not blink from calling racism what it is or identifying as bovine scat some of the aspects of recent Rodeo venues. He may offend some folks in doing so. But to be less than honest in his assessment of these things would certainly diminish the soul of the book.
A classic American tale.......2005-05-13
In these fractious times, it is a joy to come across a book that embraces something as distinctly American as the rodeo. W.K. Stratton has delivered a handsomely-rendered treasure for every man who ever wanted to be a cowboy and every woman who ever wanted to be a cowboy's sweetheart. He traces the origins of rodeoing, takes us to this wild sport's biggest events, and introduces us to the kind of outsized characters it is hard to believe still exist. So here's to Freckles Brown, the rodeo clown who rode the fiercest bull in captivity, and to Jesse Bail, the spiritual descendant of Larry Mahan and Ty Murray and all the great rodeo riders who preceded him. And here's to Stratton himself, the son of a rodeo bum, who weaves the search for traces of his father into the larger tale he is telling without ever getting thrown by it. He stayed in the saddle, and by doing so, he has given readers a chance for the ride of their lives.

Not as good as 1st in series but better than many of TV series episodes.......2006-03-17
Set about a month after the events in Roswell High #1, "The Wild One" is about a mysterious new boy in town named Nikolas and the wild effect he seems to have on Isabel. While the TV series wasn't based on this book there is a similarity in that the gang gradually learns that there were four alien children that survived the 1947 crash, Nikolas is the fourth alien in this case and he doesn't like humans.
I liked the first book better than this one, especially during the last part of the story (which is better than some of the TV episodes were). I think lots of hints are dropped about further stories in the series, the book seems a little bit choppy, fast paced.
New Review!.......2004-07-29
I like this item B000085U1I very much You should read more reviews to find out more about it
WILD.......2002-04-04
I realy liked this, its only my second "Roswell High" book so I dont have much to compare it to but I enjoyed it a lot. Its mostly about Isabel, but sets the other charecters up for storylines in future books. It has you turning the pages until the very end wondering when Isabel is going to see sense and whats going to happen to her boyfriend. Their wild adventures are also somewhat page turning. The only downside of this book is that it seems to end in the middle introducing new plot lines and not explaining what happens. That comes in the next book, which I'm looking forward to becasue this one was so good, and I want to know what happens!
The Wild One.......2002-02-28
The whole Roswell series is teriffic. I loved this book and could not put it down. I thought the T.V. show was gret but the books are too!
The Wild One.......2001-05-30
Roswell is the best sci-fi/drama tv show ever! It's based on the Roswell High series and both the show and the books are incredibly fasinating!
Book Description
The seminal event in biker culture was a 1947 weekend in Hollister, California. Motorcyclists, including members of The Boozefighters club, engaged in street racing and other raucous activities. A sensationalized report of the event ran in LIFE magazine, along with frightening (albeit posed) photos of the outlaws.
Customer Reviews:
OWOF!!.......2007-05-09
A truly phenomenal reading experience, giving a rollicking, fun filled insight into one of the greatest motorcycle clubs of all times. Excellent tales as told by the men and women who lived them. The kind of fun that our politically correct culture frowns upon but remain as a permanent reminder to always "Have Fun".
A really good reading book.......2007-02-22
This book made me want to be there during the simpler times,when ya did something that wasn't completely within the boundaries of the law and and you weren't crucified for screwing up. My favorite part was the ride from southern cali to daytona and the money they made along the way. This book was a really good reading book.
A Little Dry........2007-01-24
Good book if you're a Booze Fighter interested in the history of the club. Really the stories aren't that Wild.
Those were THE days!!!.......2006-04-01
I loved the book. Overall a fun ride through the history of the so called biker culture and how it started; just a bunch of good friends with a common bond and loyalty to each other.
modern history in th emaking.......2006-03-12
I think that the book sheds light on the misconceptions about the notorious Hollister incident, something that was handed to my generation as a "legend". Mind you, I'm an Athenian born in 1965 , when films like "The Wild One" werw considered as sf from the then conservative Greek society. I have to point out that BMW bikes played the role of HDs in Greece (same scenario: abandoned bikes by the German troops ), and probably that's the reason that I have not seen many Harley on the street, all my life !! You see, the "dream" bike is a BMW! (Swastikas not obligatory!)
Do I ride ? Yes, I still backride with some friends that got old and drive CAREFULLY ! Did I like the book ??
Well, it's like a n article from Easyriders, an extended one mind you, but it's pretty good, it shows that someone got in A LOT OF TROUBLE to fullproof his research, and, hell, it was a lot of fun!Glory days when nobody told you how and when you were supposed to enjoy your poor self!

Boring..........2007-04-15
I could not read all of this book and that is the reason for the 1 star. The beginning contained scenes with the heroine that seemed unnecessary. The middle lagged on and on and I found more solace in washing dishes. The end confrontation was the best part. Not worth the money, sorry.
Outstanding paranotmal romance thriller.......2007-02-10
The plot here while somewhat traditional is more twisted than the first book. Jackson is seeking out the witch that cursed his family hopping mtha by killing her he can break the curse. He finds a witch, Lucinda, just as she is in labor and in trouble. The plot thickens from there. Nicely done seduction sequences and nice characters and plot development. Resolution is not entirely traditional and over all well done. A little more humr than then the first book but not much. Very good read.
Didn't like this one as much as the first.......2006-12-29
But that's my only criticism. I like this series a lot so far.

Great collection.......2003-06-14
Anyone not familiar with Lewis Grizzard ought to be in for a treat reading these books. I grew up reading Grizzard in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and I remember laughing out loud at the breakfast table so, so many times. Grizzard was a terrifically funny man, southern to the core and wrote basically about what he knew best- life in the south. Grizzard was more than just a funny guy, however, he was a real writer, a true talent. This collection makes me realize how much I miss him. You don't have to be southern to appreciate Grizzard, however, no more than you'd have to be from the Midwest to like Garrison Keillor. This is Grizzard at his best.
Solid Gold Grizzard.......2001-04-10
Lewis Grizzard is to southern humor what Elvis is to rock n roll, a legend that will live in our hearts forever. "Down Home Grizzard" is an excellent read as well as a beautiful memory to the late king of southern humor. The man is just plain funny.

I'm 20 and was looking for a book to teach me to talk sexy, maybe more seductively. Like all self-help books, this one is all about boosting your confidence.

Learning to talk sexy without talking smack.......2006-01-30
My wife and I have been reading this book together, and it is a real "ear-opener." It is remarkable how uncomfortable most men and women are with truly sensuous talk in today's world where sex seems to be ubiquitous. However, just as there is a difference between f***ing and making love, there is a difference between the raunchy, cheap smut talk and truly erotic, intimate talk between lovers. If you are looking for smack, don't buy this book. If you are looking to express yourself in words that will truly animate and stimulate your sex life, this is a terrific book. One word of warning: There are 51 exercises in the book, and doing them will take some time. This is not a book to blaze through, check the box, and say, "OK, now I've read that book and I know how to talk sensually with my lover." Good sex is not automatic, and neither is good erotic dialogue. Practice makes perfect.
No ideas.......2005-09-07
I should've paid more attention to who the author was. She has the talent of creating a book without much essence and with tons of fluff. There are practically no ideas of what to say, just exercises of how to reach your own source of creativity and come up with the words. The whole book can be summarized in one plain sentence, "Get yourself in the mood and let go of inhibitions."
Good.......2005-08-12
This book is a great learning tool. It teaches you to feel comfortable with your partner and allows you to write your feelings down. I haven't finished the book yet but so far it's worth the buck. Thanks.
Book Description
In 1973, Norma Cobb, her husband Lester, and their five child-ren, the oldest of whom was nine years old and the youngest, twins, barely one, pulled up stakes in the Lower 48 and headed north to Alaska to follow a pioneer dream of claiming land under the Homestead Act. The only land available lay north of Fair-banks near the Arctic Circle where grizzlies outnumbered humans twenty to one. In addition to fierce winters and predatory ani-mals, the Alaskan frontier also drew society's more unsavory human elements. But through it all, the family survived on the strength of Norma Cobb-a woman whose love for her family knew no bounds and whose courage in the face of mortal danger is an inspiration.

I was very disappointed in this book.......2007-08-02
I was very disappointed in this book. While the first half is entertaining and interesting, it eventually became offensive to me for a number of reasons. The author, Norma Cobb, refers to herself (in the section about working on the pipeline) as "not unattractive" but then later goes on to categorize Susan Butcher as being not much to look at. Well, from looking at the pictures, I might agree with Norma's appraisal of herself, (though it does sound boastful for someone living in Athapaskan country, where the Natives do not boast about themselves), but to denigrate Susan's looks is simply tacky. Many believe that Susan Butcher was a very attractive, natural and wholesome looking woman. Further, when Norma comments on the passes made towards her by another musher, Rick Swenson, well - that is equally tacky, particularly with a well known individual. Unfortunately, these things, along with other things such as poor grammar and incorrect usage of the English language point to someone who appears to be both rather full of herself and disdainful of people with more education. It is a shame that what was essentially a good story had these elements that detracted from it. I was also bothered by the characterization of others in this book as they did not, somehow, "ring true." This assessment was solidified for me when I read Ken Nelson's review of the book. I normally do not cull books from my personal library but this book won't be kept.

The Artic Homestead.......2007-05-13
If you are looking for a book about homesteading in alaska, this is the book. Of all the books that I have read about alaska so far this is the best. If you are an alaskan enthusist like myself you should love this book. Lee from Georgia
Great Book.......2007-04-25
If you're looking for a well-written captivating book - look no further. This book will only last you a couple days or less. The flow of the book allows the reader to quickly get amerced in the personal voyage of the writer and when you come up for air, the book is over.

Great book! If you like to read about the outdoors and tough living conditions, you will love this. You can't put it down.
