    Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago.
    		 
    The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing—to varying degrees—their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner’s attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain.
    		 
    Brimming with wry observations—of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road—The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair—or garden—reading.

    Terry Randall, a former actor and TV writer, recounts his extraordinary journey through a humorous lens, sharing his repressed memories of paranormal encounters. From childhood ghost stories and alien abductions to the development of telepathic abilities, Randall's narrative challenges conventional reality, offering an amusing yet thought-provoking exploration of a larger, unseen world. His experiences raise profound questions about human potential, spiritual growth, and our place in the universe. 
      
    Primarily set in North-West England, the accounts focus on Randall's childhood and young adulthood. The time period spans from the late 1950s to the early 2000s, providing a backdrop of societal changes and evolving perspectives on paranormal phenomena. The atmosphere moves between the mundane reality of everyday life and inexplicable occurrences, creating a stark contrast that mirrors the dissonance between Randall's experiences and a consensus worldview. 
      
    His journey also explores the psychological impact of trauma around the retrieval of repressed memories. A reflection on the process of spiritual awakening, where paranormal experiences lead to a deeper understanding of the self. It challenges readers to smile whilst considering a broader perspective that invites introspection and self-discovery.

    Praise for Graham Mott & "Hooked by Fly Fishing." 
    Here is a book review from John Shewey, Editor of American Fly Fishing Magazine: 
    "I love a good yarn, but a fun tale from a fly angler is especially entertaining, and Graham M. Mott delivers a collection of true stories that will ring familiar to anyone who has practiced the art for a longtime. His stories will resonate with fly anglers in all walks of life. 
    In one incident, Mott manages to impale himself with a fly. We’ve all been there, but not of all us have fished out the rest of the day with a fly dangling from our lip before finally seeking medical attention at a local clinic. Some of us have done that, but few of us can report a second self-hooking that only to ends up in front of the same doctor. 
     Mott recalls many times when his favorite sport—his addiction—has provided him catharsis. Mott’s stories enshrine personal relationships made all the richer through fly fishing. His stories range from the humorous to the poignant. He also recounts some great catches, but his essays clearly echo the sentiment that it’s the fishing that matters far more than the catching." 
    *A Great gift for any fisherman. Listen now!

    Homewaters - A Human and Natural...

    Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
     
     
     
    Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.
