When Adventure Ends in the Unknown…
The history of the western United States is a saga of territory added in haphazard pieces, as those in power grabbed what they could. Sometimes this happened as a good financial bargain, like Thomas Jefferson’s 1803 Louisiana Purchase. Sometimes it was the result of diplomacy, such as our northwest corner given by treaty with Britain in 1846. From the Texas Territory to the unimagined vastness of Alaska, the United States took what it could get, in many cases without knowing anything about what it had acquired. Death on the North Rim follows one of the men who wanted to fill the blank spots on the map: George Bradley, a Civil War veteran who joins John Wesley Powell and the crew of men who made the first trip through the canyons of the Green and Colorado Rivers. Facing unknown dangers, these men attempt to navigate territory that no American settler has ever seen before. And then, when they are confronted by the terrifying Separation Rapids, a decision must be made that will result in an unsolved mystery. Inspired by an expedition commemorating the 100th anniversary of Powell’s legendary trip, Death on the North Rim is a compelling, meticulously researched tribute to the power and beauty of America’s wilderness and the men who dared to explore it.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
