“Elizabeth is an eighteen-year old rising college freshman heading into the Alaskan backcountry for an adventure with her father before classes start. But when a plane crash strands Elizabeth alone in the wilderness, she is in a fight for survival with only her camping gear and hunting rifle. Alaskan dangers like hunger, prowling bears, and brutal storms push Elizabeth to the edge. She is determined to make it out so she can see her family again. The Moose is a harrowing novel of grit, self-reliance, and survival at all costs.”
Author Eric Viall is a science educator in rural North Dakota. He has spent his life hunting, fishing, and studying science. He has two little girls, a dog, and an incredibly patient wife. He enjoys typewriters and cooking.
Author Event Paul Legler
In a small North Dakota town, Sheriff Ray Adams faces the dangers of a changing world where bigotry and violence are fueled by social media. As he confronts these challenges, he reflects upon his own life, the life of his ex-wife—a former Miss Rodeo North Dakota—and the prejudices faced by their daughter growing up in a small town on the prairie. The peace is about to be shattered, and there will be blood. THE LAST DAKOTA COWBOY is a deeply moving story about love, loss, and betrayal in uncertain times.
“Paul Legler’s THE LAST DAKOTA COWBOY centers on a rough-and-tumble sheriff dealing with a broken marriage based on a near fatal attraction. At the same time, the oil boom brings big changes and shady characters to his small Dakota town. Heartfelt, full of the hard history of this country, and action packed, it’s a natural for the legion of fans of YELLOWSTONE and MADISON and the LONGMIRE series.”—Pete Fromm, five-time winner of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Literary Award

THIS LOVE STORY IS HOTTER THAN FICTION
When Emmy Miura falls asleep reading a newly purchased romance novel (after her visit to a sex psychic her sister swears by), the last thing she expects is to wake up in the protagonist's bed the next morning. Emmy doesn't want to disrupt Will Barrett's world – even if he is fictional. He is clearly content with his life in idyllic and not-actually-real Cobalt, Massachusetts. He has good friends, steady work as a nurse in the paediatric wing of the local hospital, and an adorable house he inherited from his grandfather.
Understandably, he doesn't take it well when she manages to convince him none of the things he knows and loves are real. While Will is reeling at the implications of Emmy's revelation, Emmy is frantic to get back to the real world. The problem is that she is, against all her best efforts, falling head over heels in love with Will.
Will has feelings for her, too – much to the chagrin of the woman who was supposed to be his love interest – and he is determined to go with Emmy when she finds a way out of the book. Neither Emmy nor Will know if they can make a real life together that's based on fiction, but together they are willing to try.
