Her plans are torn apart when a dear friend is murdered, an old man vanishes, and a mysterious woman is found dead in a gold mine. At first these seem to be separate, isolated events. But are they? Lydia's search for motives, connections, and answers becomes ever more frustrating. Journeys up and down the magnificent Yukon River, visits to a mushroom picking camp, a long trip to a remote First Nation village--all these forays expose pieces of the puzzle. Gradually a pattern emerges and, as it does, Lydia finds she has put her own life in grave danger."--Page 4 of cover

Book excerpt: The book which you hold in your hand, like its protagonist, belongs to a rare and terrifying breed. Jake Ziemba's eminently promising first novel, The Yukon Glory, written throughout the author's struggle with rare blood disease PNH, blends raw emotion, intense violence, rich conceptualization, and sensitive characterization to create one of the most brilliant works of phantasmagoria in the past several decades. It is a tale of a man's will destroyed by his bloodlust, against a backdrop of viral holocaust in an alternate 1970's America. Along the way, there are cameo appearances from such historically unsavory individuals as Richard Nixon and Adolf Hitler, as well as vampires, participants in the French Revolution, fiery demon-people, and a whole society turned insectoid in its rage and confusion. Conceptually innovative and stylistically arresting, this book is sure to become renowned.

Book excerpt: The Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race is one of the most challenging sporting events in the world. Every February, a handful of hardy souls spends over two weeks racing sleds pulled by fourteen dogs over 1,023 miles of frozen rivers, icy mountain passes, and spruce forests as big as entire states, facing temperatures that drop to forty degrees below zero on nights that are seventeen hours long. Why would anyone want to enter this race? John Balzar-who moved to Alaska and lived on the trail-treats us to a vivid account of the grueling race itself, offering an insightful look at the men and women who have moved to this rugged and beautiful place. Readers will also be fascinated by Balzar's account of what goes into the training and care of the majestic dogs who pull the sleds and whose courage, strength, and devotion make them the true heroes of this story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shot rings out. A skiff is rammed by a large power boat and an old, Inuit seal hunter sinks into the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean. Four hundred miles away Frank Johnson, a Yukon Territory homesteader, is killed and buried in his own trash pile. When American Lydia Falkner returns to her Yukon River cabin, she is unemployed, broke, and grieving for her father. She is seeking the peace and solitude that only her special sanctuary can offer. But her friend Frank's death and the frustrating riddles he leaves behind make her a witness to an ever-widening conspiracy born of greed, deceit, and betrayal. Lydia's search for answers carries her many miles through the magnificent landscapes of the Canadian north. She and her battered skiff ride the waves and riffles of the Yukon River. A remote gravel road carries her into the high Arctic of the Northwest Territories and into the orbit of an unscrupulous and dangerous business man. Each of Lydia's journeys yields new revelations and each revelation puts her in greater danger. When she finally uncovers the piece of evidence that ties everything together, she is forced to run for her life.The Yukon Grieves for No One invites the reader to revisit the land of Jack London. There are Mounties and mountain men, grizzlies and wolves, Inuit and people of the First Nations, impostors and predatory entrepreneurs. But this is a thoroughly modern story with a little sex, lots of humor, a sidekick with a Brooklyn accent, and a plot that twists, turns, and deepens much like the mighty Yukon River.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I owe Alaska. It gave me everything I have.” Says Sidney Huntington, son of an Athapaskan mother and white trader/trapper father. Growing up on the Koyukuk River in Alaska’s harsh Interior, that “everything” spans 78 years of tragedies and adventures. When his mother died suddenly, 5-year-old Huntington protected and cared for his younger brother and sister during two weeks of isolation. Later, as a teenager, he plied the wilderness traplines with his father, nearly freezing to death several times. One spring, he watched an ice-filled breakup flood sweep his family’s cabin and belongings away. These and many other episodes are the compelling background for the story of a man who learned the lessons of a land and culture, lessons that enabled him to prosper as trapper, boat builder, and fisherman. This is more than one man's incredible tale of hardship and success in Alaska. It is also a tribute to the Athapaskan traditions and spiritual beliefs that enabled him and his ancestors to survive. His story, simply told, is a testament to the durability of Alaska's wild lands and to the strength of the people who inhabit them.
