        Going It Alone

        Ramblings and Reflections from the Trail

        by Tim Hauserman

        Format: Paperback

        156 Pages

        Going It Alone is the story of the conflict between joy and loneliness Tim Hauserman discovered on a series of backpack trips in the wilderness: a tale of self-induced misadventures and overwhelming sadness but also many moments of sublime rapture. It is a humorous, humble take on the experience of spending time alone in the wilderness—part exquisite nature journal, part Bill Bryson in the woods—with a unique voice and take on the world.

        Real Stories from the Silver State

        by John M Glionna

        ISBN: 9781647790448

        Pub Date: 15 March 2022

        Format: Paperback

        302 Pages

        Join author John M. Glionna on a journey to discover the real Nevada, a place inhabited by diverse, spirited, and sometimes quirky people who make up the fabric of the Silver State. Outback Nevada explores the far-flung corners of the seventh-largest state in the nation and introduces its readers to the humanity, courage, strength, and charm of these little-known Americans. Each story is part of the vast collection of published articles Glionna has written during his decades of work as a journalist for the Los Angeles Times and the Las Vegas Review-Journal. 

        Glionna’s interest in Nevada’s rugged, isolated landscape and the people who choose to live in this often-harsh environment was born of his own wanderings into the “outback.” Through his stories, he shares intimate portraits of rural and small-town lifestyles not many understand. Readers meet men with names like Flash and Mr. Cool; listen to a cowboy...
