January, 2022 - Tales From The Trails!

Happy New Year, 2022! Three years ago in January 2019, I set out to put my travel stories, "Tales from the Trails" into writing. A page a day turned into 365 pages in a year. January 2020 I was ready to have the fifteen chapters edited and hired a local editor over the next year to prepare for publication.
