Hello my bookworm buddies-
I’m contacting you today because of your interest in my first book My Place Among Men. I’m publishing a sequel.
I followed salmon migration from the Oregon coast to the Idaho wilderness last summer. Everything that happened in front of the camera is in the film, Ocean to Idaho. It premieres in August. Everything that happened behind the camera while I lived and worked solo on the road during the pandemic is going in the book, My Place Among Fish. It publishes in August. Copies available for pre-order now here: https://www.tightlinemedia.com/shop/
Online and in-person events are in planning stage now so watch for more details as the schedule is released here: https://www.tightlinemedia.com/oceantoidaho/
My Place Among Fish is the sequel to my first book, My Place Among Men, published in 2019. I wrote my first book while mending a broken leg. I said I’d never write another book if it meant breaking another leg. The good news is I didn’t break a leg for the sequel. I lost a body part instead. Yes, I was surprised too.
Publishing a book and premiering a film in the same summer is a unique challenge, but it feels easier than following fish 850 miles through four rivers across three states with stitches, bruises and a broken camera. May these two major works, the book and the film, do the unbelievable journey justice as the Pacific Northwest grapples with how to save salmon from extinction.
I appreciate your support of my journalistic efforts to document the challenges wildlife encounters while trying to make its way with us in the way.
Take care
