October 24, 2021/ Steve Stripling

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

Dagnabit! by Mike Gordon

October 24, 2021/ Steve Stripling

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. But Mike does a better job explaining it in our interview.

Just like his first book, Learning the Ropes, Mike's writing style is comfortable, fun to read that 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
