Book Description
“A high-water mark in river running humor from the guides and the misguided.” —Tim Cahill, author of Pass the Butterworms and Pecked to Death by Ducks “Full of great tales, funny stories, and river lore, it will make some river runners eager to get back into the boats—and some wishing they had stayed home.” —Peter Stark, author of Last Breath and Driving to Greenland “Just when you thought whitewater mayhem was no laughing matter, Michael Engelhard serves up Hell’s Half Mile, a potpourri of ticklish adventures and misadventures.” —Michael P. Ghiglieri, author of Canyon, Over the Edge, and First Through Grand Canyon “Represents the best in humorous outdoors writing and the lowest in guide culture.” —John Weisheit, co-founder of Colorado River Guides and Conservation Director of Living Rivers River wisdom postulates that there are two kinds of boaters: Those who have flipped and those who will. Most of the contributors to this anthology fall into the former category. You will find stories of rafters, canoeists, kayakers, and dory men. You will meet two brave youths swimming the entire Grand Canyon, a bear hitching a ride in a boat, naked canoeists, egg-slinging river guides, a floating turkey, and rangers assassinating a goat. You will witness epic wrecks, strange games and vehicles, and tourists getting lost on the river. They are all here: The misfits and misanthropes, the dreamers and daredevils, weekend warriors and professional guides, nataphobes and bibliophiles, “established voices” and undiscovered gems. Hell’s Half Mile is likely to become a classic in the genre of humorous adventure writing. ________ Michael Engelhard works as an outdoors instructor and river guide on the Colorado Plateau. He is the author of an essay collection, Where the Rain Children Sleep, and has contributed to a number of magazines. His most recent project is a book of stories about the western horse.

At least there shouldn’t be. But now Maggie has to find a way to tell Jason she’s not as taken as he thinks. Or married at all, for that matter. STAY WITH ME Mac Montgomery is determined to be a good friend to Gina, to be there for her when she comes back home to care for her ailing father.

Mac Montgomery thought he’d successfully avoided falling victim to his father’s matchmaking schemes. But with both his brothers now happily married, it was only a matter of time before the attention fell on him. But he had hoped his father would realize he had no desire to get married and he would just let him be. But what he hadn’t counted on was Gina Micelli come back into town. After more than a dozen years away, Gina Micelli is coming back home, ready to care for her ailing father and spend time with all the friends she’s been away from for so long. So many of her favorite memories include the Montgomerys and she wants nothing more than to reconnect—especially with Mac. After all these years, her crush on him hasn’t gone away and she’s hoping he’ll see her as the grown woman she now is and not the child he remembers. Mac is determined to be a good friend to Gina during this difficult time, but the more time he spends with her, the more difficult it is to think of her as just a childhood friend and not something more. The timing for romance is all wrong, but sometimes you just can’t help getting drawn in.
