Willow Sticks, Earth Worms is all about true fishing experiences for trout and salmon by the author in the lakes, rivers and ocean of British Columbia. The author was fortunate to be born in this West Coast province of Canada and spent his entire working career in British Columbia, taking as much time as possible to enjoy its bountiful outdoors, especially fly fishing. There are 10 chapters, over 70 pictures, and 6 poems that describe many BC fishing adventures. In brief, the chapters contain the following; Chapter 1: Growing up on a small South Langley farm, dissected by the Little Campbell Creek. Here the author was taught the rudiments of bait fishing by his Father, then went on to discover the joys of fly fishing. Chapter 2: True accounts of fly-fishing experiences for trout, some quite large; in 17 of BC's best lakes. Information given on how to get there, where to fish and what to use! Chapter 3: True adventures with huge trout in some of the Nehalliston Plateau's best big fish lakes. Chapter 4: How the author's yellow Labrador pup swallowed a roe baited hook, which subsequently generated a $600 veterinarian bill, a high price for one fly caught coho salmon! Chapter 5: True experiences of fly and float fishing on 9 of BC's best salmon and steelhead rivers, including the how to, why's and where's. Chapter 6: Trying to catch giant Atnarko River spring salmon many years ago with essentially a hand line! Chapter 7: Friends of the author own a fishing lodge on Nimpo Lake. This chapter describes a wonderful Chilcotin holiday fishing the Dean and Atnarko Rivers while a guest of the lodge. Chapter 8: The joys of salt air and fresh caught ocean salmon! True experiences of catching the giant springs of Bamfield, fly fishing in the surf for pink salmon south of Port Hardy, jigging for coho salmon near Campbell River and tying into large Active Pass salmon. Chapter 9: A description of how to tie and use a dozen of the authors all time favourite flies. Chapter 10: A poem sets the conclusions by describing how to throw out the work, and go fishing!

Charming, humorous and utterly engaging, this is a book that will make readers laugh and cry. Written from the point of view and in the voice of the author’s dog, Lonesome, its observations of life in the wilds reveal a dog with great character, charm and attitude. Named for her first home, remote Lonesome Lake in British Columbia’s Tweedsmuir Park, Lonesome was a first-rate companion: obedient, mannerly, brave, yet occasionally cynical. She did not share her human’s love of the wilderness, and wore a martyred expression for most of her life. She would have much preferred a life in the suburbs, “with nice safe walks in the park and a cozy bed inside the house.” Lonesome’s memoirs paint a vivid and not altogether flattering picture of her life with Chris, but as she states, “I am not a vindictive creature and this book will remain family reading.” Lonesome loftily points out in her introduction that her book focuses on events not already recounted in Chris’s previous books, and she shares her unique canine perspective on their day-to-day life in the wilds.

The true story of an adventurous young nurse who provided much-needed health care to the rural communities of the Cariboo-Chilcotin in the 1960s. In 1963, newly minted public health nurse Marion McKinnon arrived in the small community of Williams Lake in BC's Cariboo region. Armed with more confidence than experience, she got into her government-issued Chevy—packed with immunization supplies, baby scales, and emergency drugs—and headed out into her 9,300-square-kilometre territory, inhabited by ranchers; mill workers; and many vulnerable men, women, and children who were at risk of falling through the cracks of Canada's social welfare system. At twenty-two, a naïve yet enthusiastic Marion relied entirely on her academic knowledge and her common sense. She doled out birth control and parenting advice to women who had far more life experience than she. She routinely dealt with condescending doctors and dismissive or openly belligerent patients. She immunized school children en masse and made home visits to impoverished communities. She drove out into the vast countryside in freezing temperatures, with only a candle, antifreeze, chains, and chocolate bars as emergency equipment. In one year, Marion received a rigorous education in the field. She helped countless people, made many mistakes, learned to recognize systemic injustice, and even managed to get into a couple of romantic entanglements. Always Pack a Candle is an unforgettable and eye-opening memoir of one frontline worker's courage, humility, and compassion.
