My second mystery novel, set in the Emigrant Wilderness, is now out!

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

My second mystery novel, set in the Emigrant Wilderness, is now out!

Post by balzaccom »

Bones of the Earth, the second in my series of mystery novels set in the High Sierra and featuring ranger Dan Courtwright is now published.

You can find it at the Napa Bookmine, the Mountain Bookstore in Sonora, and of course, you can always get these on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Paul-Wagner ... uage=en_US

Hope you enjoy the read!

Hi Balzaccom,

I ordered your book from Amazon. I received it Wed and finished it last night. What a great read! It moved quickly and the plot twists kept me engaged throughout. As your characters develop and deepen from book to book they are becoming "friends'. I like the pacing of your character arcs over the two books and am anxious for more!

Having spent quite a bit of time in the areas the book was set in it's clear you have also and love it as I do. Thanks for writing these novels and I will be calling the granite bowl between Hyatt and Big lakes the "Bones of the Earth" in the future.

Very well done!

Michael
