“Another one of your mother’s men?”
“No. Ezhno was actually my real uncle. He was full Paiute. His father was my mother’s father, so he was therefore her half-brother. Ezhno was my real guide through adolescence. He taught me survival skills—how to live in the wilderness, how to use the land to support you. It was he that placed the wanderlust in my heart and made me a traveler. He would take me out for weeks, walking through the desert with nothing but our clothes and a few basic items. We’d survive on animals caught in traps, digging wells for water or simply getting it out of a cactus. He was an exceptional man. Part of a dying culture and breed, being overtaken in the modern world and crushed into insignificance. I had hoped that one day I would have been able to pass on some of the things Ezhno taught me as a boy to my own son. But Danny got sick when he was only ten and I’d put it off until then. It was one of the main things that I thought of when we sat by his grave at his funeral. That I’m not gonna get to teach my boy how to survive in the wilderness.”
“Well,” Claude added, “you can always teach David how to survive in the wilderness. And maybe I can tag along and you can teach me how to live in the desert. You can teach us how to catch squirrels and which parts of its meat are best!”

Enjoy This Book? You Can Make A Difference
Reviews are the most powerful tools in my arsenal when it comes to getting attention for my books. Much as I'd like to, I don't have the financial muscle of a New York publisher. I can't take out full page ads in the newspaper or put posters on the subway.
(At least not yet, anyways!)
But I do have something much more powerful and effective than that, and it's something that those publishers would kill to get their hands on.
A committed and loyal bunch of readers.
Honest reviews of my books help bring them to the attention of other readers.
If you've enjoyed this book I would be very grateful if you could spend just two minutes leaving a review (it can be as short as you like) on the books Amazon page. You can go right to the page by clicking below.
