I think you're supposed to beat around the bush before introducing a book but I'll just jump---"West of Spencer" is a novel I've recently finished about trolling out of Sitka, comes from 29 years fishing off Washington Oregon and Southeast. So far not in hard copy, just ebook, available on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/West-of-Spencer-ebook/dp/B009XLJZTO/ref=sr_1_40?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1352316623&sr=1-40



and Barnes & Noble

I'd put the early reviews in here, but some are unprintable.



Okay, I'll beat around anyway: you know you're a lowliner when you've left so many leads on a pinnacle, it gets renamed for your boat.

I just finished West of Spencer. More sex, romance, and philosophy than i anticipated. Interspersed in the trolling action around Sitka Finished it in two readings once i started.

If you like a good combination of romance, a bit of sex, philosophy, and salmon trolling then you should enjoy this book, I did.

Gratified to see a positive response to the novel (West of Spencer). I alternate between thinking it's too weird for most readers, and the feeling it could resonate with a wide audience. Anyone who liked it and would be willing to post a review on Amazon, or Barnes & Noble, that'd help.



As for what happened the rest of the troll season---an early reader of the manuscript also thought it might have gone further, but by the time I got Bo out of his (mostly self-inflicted) scrapes and into a comparatively good space I was all wore out and jumped at the opportunity to wrap it up. I've never had a Red Bull habit, but I suppose I could take it up and try writing a sequel.
