Return to Independence: A Novella (The Frontier Adventures of Alvah Nye) by David Fitz-Gerald

Return to Independence: A Novella (The Frontier Adventures of Alvah Nye) by David Fitz-Gerald

Wagon master Alvah Nye must reach Independence fast, but when he encounters a family in need, he can’t ride past. It’s not in him.

Cutthroats chase them down Mount Shasta. Comanche circle the prairie. The treacherous Dill Gang closes in beyond Wagon Mound. Shepherding a grieving family along an unforgiving trail is like running a gauntlet of bullets and arrows… shackled to an anchor.

If they don’t make it back to Missouri in time, Alvah and his brothers of the road will go bust. Setbacks wreck their chances. They’ll be lucky if they make it there at all.

But arrival isn’t the end of the journey. For a man with itchy feet and far-away eyes, it’s only the beginning. Somewhere out there is a future he’s meant to discover. A destiny waiting to catch fire.

Return to Independence is the gripping prequel to The Frontier Adventures of Alvah Nye, a western saga of courage, loyalty, and building a future out of nothing.

Set in the same world as Ghosts Along the Oregon Trail, this novella invites new readers and Ghosts fans to follow Alvah Nye into the vast frontier.

Return to Independence is perfect for readers of John Deacon and Ron Schwab. This is the ride for you if you enjoy clean classic western fiction packed with action and adventure… written today but reminiscent of Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, and Little House on the Prairie.

Reflect on his life lessons and personal connections while fly fishing;
Heartfelt stories of the author’s relationship with his son, stepson, and friends through the love of fly fishing;
Humorous tales of encountering outlaws and unexpected obstacles.
Enjoy reading or listening to his stories.
Praise for Graham Mott & “Hooked by Fly Fishing.”
“Great job with this book. Fun memories in magical places shared with close friends and family is what life is all about. Hats off to you Graham.” Karl Decker, Mountaineering Videographer, “Karl Decker Presents” – YouTube

“I loved the stories. And it sounds like you’ve hooked yourself a few times! Comes with the territory — a fisherman must endure the elements, the whims of the fish, and the threat (or thrill) of the hook! I’m so glad you wrote these great tales down.” Joel Morris, best-selling author of his first book, “All our Yesterdays: A Novel of Lady MacBeth”

Here is a book review from John Shewey, Editor of American Fly Fishing Magazine:
“I love a good yarn, fly fishing or otherwise, but a fun tale from a fly angler is especially entertaining, and Graham M. Mott delivers a collection of true stories that will ring familiar to anyone who has practiced the art for a longtime. His stories will resonate with fly anglers in all walks of life.

In one incident, Mott manages to impale himself with a fly. We’ve all been there, but not of all us have fished out the rest of the day with a fly dangling from our lip before finally seeking medical attention at a local clinic. Some of us have done that, but few of us can report a second self-hooking that only to ends up in front of the same doctor.

Fly fishing as a conduit for deeper, more meaningful, more fulfilling relationships with friends and family members, is a recurring theme in “Hooked by Fly Fishing,” and Mott recalls many times when his favorite sport—his addiction—has provided him catharsis. Mott’s stories enshrine personal relationships made all the richer through fly fishing. His stories range from the humorous to the poignant. He also recounts some great catches, but his essays clearly echo the sentiment that it’s the fishing that matters far more than the catching.”

*A Great gift for any fisherman. Order your copy of Hooked by Fly Fishing now! *

Mitch the Adequate is NOT that wizard. He is sent from his home on Tahar the Jellyfish to merely collect this information.

She wants to prove it by retrieving a bone with Mitch’s help. Mitch is unsure of her claims but also eager to escape his dead-end job. They secure the help of Captain Fanny and her clockwork sailing ship to voyage to Teta the Otter to find the truth about the dragons and fog. Meanwhile, NONE of their bosses are okay with ANY of this.

Will their supervisors stop them? Will Captain Fanny secure a better life for her landlubber brother? What is Steampunk Librarian Pearl hiding in her steamer trunk? Will Mitch ever control his sneeze teleporting? Find out in Rentsoc Book 1: The Wizard, The Pirate, and The Steampunk Librarian!

The Lost Voices by Joe Madison
