Tide, Feather, Snow: A Life in Alaska Overview

An extreme landscape in both its beauty and challenges, Alaska is a place where know-how is currency and a novice's mistakes can be fatal. But it is a place for glorious reinvention—a refuge for those desperate to escape . . . and for those looking for something more.

Miranda Weiss, a young woman who grew up landlocked in a well-kept East Coast suburb, moved to Homer, Alaska, with her boyfriend, determined to make a place for herself in this unfamiliar country where the years are marked by seasons of fish, and where locals carry around the knowledge of tides, boats, and weather as ballast. In Tide, Feather, Snow, Weiss introduces readers to the memorable people and peculiar beauty of Alaska's vast landscape, as she takes us along on her remarkable personal journey of adventure, physical challenge, and culture clash.

Fair Game (Authors Guild Backimprint.Com Edition)

Fair Game (Authors Guild Backimprint.Com Edition) Review

Fair Game (Authors Guild Backimprint.Com Edition) Overview

“This is a capable, if sometimes breathless, reconstruction of the rampage of Robert Hansen, the most prolific serial rapist and murderer in Alaska’s history, who killed more than 20 women in the 12 years before his conviction in 1984. Freelance journalist DuClos … dug enough to find victims who escaped Hansen, to show how police and judges blundered in being lenient with Hansen (such as not ensuring … psychotherapy and lithium treatment) and to describe Anchorage’s tawdry tenderloin district, where Hansen stalked nude dancers …”—Publishers Weekly

“… an impressive piece of research and reporting.”—Anchorage Daily News

“… a gripping narrative.”—We Alaskans Magazine
