Alaska Authors, Coffee and Book Reviews!

Book Review Section!

Today's show featured Stan Jones and Mike Gordon. Stan writes mystery fiction. Mike Gordon writes non-fiction but it's a mystery he's survived!

Two authors whose new books you'll find on our Big Alaska Show Book Review Section, http://www.bigalaskashow.com/book-reviews.

Authors, Lolo Paige and Chris Lundgren, joined the fun as our panel of author experts! Good books, good fun on our show this morning!            

Dagnabit! by Mike Gordon

We're fortunate Mike Gordon wrote this book. Not just because his life is colorful and filled with entertaining Alaskan stories that morph over the decades into legend.  We're fortunate because Mike Gordon has kept Ruben Gaines' legacy alive.

A broadcaster, writer, cartoonist, creative storyteller, mentor and close friend to Mike, Ruben Gaines helped define Alaska's character.

Just like his first book, Learning the Ropes, Mike's writing style is comfortable, fun to read and takes you from a Rustic Alaskan Saloon to the 7 tallest peaks in 7 continents. Plus, makes you wish you had met Ruben Gaines! https://www.mikegordonauthor.com/store

Ghost Light by Stan Jones                                                                                                                                                           

Stan Jones blends Alaska culture, fiction and mystery making it hard to believe it's not non-fiction! Might as well be. As Stan was telling us, "With the help of a demented Alaska Native elder, Chukchi police chief Nathan Active hunts for the killer who left a woman's expertly dismembered body in the ice cellar of an abandoned Inupiat Eskimo fish camp."

There's more good stuff. Read the book! You can find it here on Amazon!

Listen to Stan talk about his book along with authors, Lolo Paige and Chris Lundgren!
