He is helped by his coworker Shaney, a Crow woman who makes him uncomfortable due to their white coworkers projecting a romance onto them. Lewis begins to shamefully reminisce on an event from his adolescence involving an elk and seeks to cause the vision to repeat by marking out the shape of the elk on his floor.

I will have to look for more of his work. His natural reading voice is clear and pleasant. He uses an array of different voices, accents, and speech patterns so you always know which character is speaking. I've never heard any other narrations by Sean Kenin, but he is stellar here. Just plain fun and it will give you the creeps rather often. I has plenty of sounds and atmospheres and clips from the movies. If you happen to know him, please tell him I am a huge fan. I am pretty impressed by his quality, his acting skills and how he can switch from a teenage voice to a droid to a girl to a villain. ![]() ![]() Narrative is pretty atmospheric and you feel like you are there, trying to get out of a swarm of monsters that are up for a good lunch. The story is heavy on character development and you end up actually caring for what happens to all of them. Death Troopers is a mature, fast paced story that will make you enjoy this book in one sitting.

The film was titled Nature’s Way but before its release was changed to Don’t Change My World. I was chosen to write, direct, and edit for the simple reason that I had more experience than anyone else involved, plus I was still riding on my fame from The Now Explosion. All you had to do was get the cast and crew to a really spectacular location and tell a reasonably entertaining story about a hero single-handedly fighting man’s abuse of nature. ![]() The attraction to this genre for the filmmaker was that Mother Nature provided all the sets and most of the players (wildlife) for free. The timing was right because several G-rated low-budget ‘outdoor-adventure’ films had done very well, chief among them was Grizzly Adams. I was part of a small production company that decided to make a low-budget feature film for theatrical distribution. That’s me in the plaid shirt.Ī little less than 40 years ago I jumped through these same kinds of hoops but in a different medium: film.

As a bird mom, I immediately wanted to help, but the kinglet, stunned and disoriented, hung upside down for a moment, then flapped his wings and made a quick recovery flight to a nearby tree. I heard a noise at one of my windows-that dreaded bird-hit-the-window sound-and hanging from the screen was a kinglet. Another recent surprise involved a kinglet.

I’m truly grateful-especially for everyone who has been patiently waiting for my next book. And a little scary too, because with each successive book I was worried about disappointing people who’d been waiting (and already coming up with their own ideas of what should happen).īut, I have to say, I am so lucky to have so many wonderful people supporting me and my books. The overwhelmingly positive response came as such a surprise and such a boost. TRC: What was your reaction to the phenomenal success of your Fading Lands series?
