He was known as the Mad Trapper of Rat River. In this fictional account he goes from a farmer to a war hero only to be denied by his country. He rides the rails, finds love, loses his family and now he is on the run,
"Billy the Kid" and a young Eskimo girl are his only allies in his desparate bid for freedom. Labelled a cold-blooded cop killer, the Mad Trapper must make it across the border or die.
Tony Lopolio, literary agent for 15 years in New York City, had this to say about Nelson Lewis' new novel: "The writing is excellent, the narrative compelling and the dialogue great."
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT - A Boy and His Grannie
Monty Raine says the following about his new novel:
Anyone who has survived their childhood has something substantial to write about.
- Orphaned when two years old in 1935
- A grandmother who lost two daughters in quick succession, one my mother, yet rose from despair to become not only my legal guardian but also my earthbound Guardian Angel.
- A weave of mostly joys, some sorrows, and a sprinkling of earthy humour during a muddled childhood
- Sophistication was not an attribute to be lauded when I was growing up in England's North East - the home of the Geordies and Catherine Cookson Country.

It is the story of an old prospector and a young Indian boy and how they struggle to cope with the changes to their beloved North Land. Once Winter Comes is a compelling story that will grip your imagination 'til the last page is turned.
PATRIFIED
This is the latest CD by my son, Pat. I did the
cover art using a combination of local Princeton scenery with standing
stones from Scotland. Using Photoshop tricks, I carved the guitar out of
stone and turned Pat's photo into a stone sculpture. The whole effect was
finished by adding shadows.
