When a pair of young lovers abscond from a Puritan colony, little do they know that their humble cabin in the woods will become home to an extraordinary succession of inhabitants . An English soldier, destined for glory, abandons the battlefields of the New World to devote himself to apples. A pair of spinster twins survive war and famine, only to succumb to envy and desire. A crime reporter unearths a mass grave, but finds the ancient trees refuse to give up their secrets. A lovelorn painter, a conman, a stalking panther, a lusty beetle; as each one confronts the mysteries of the north woods, they come to realize that the dark, raucous, beautiful past is very much alive.

Traversing cycles of history, nature, and even literature, North Woods is written along with the seasons and  it is an unforgettable novel about secrets and fates that asks the timeless how do we live on, even after we’re gone?

Reader Review:
     This book is a wild ride. You never know where the next chapter is going to take you. I thought this would be a historical fiction novel but it travels through time and the unexplained. I loved the way this book tied every inhabitant together. However, there were a few stories where I wanted more.  
    Don't hesitate to pick up The North Woods! Overall, great read!

But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. Forces like money. And power. And there are men who hold these as the only currency worth fighting for. And in their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness.
 But Court Gentry is going to prove that, for him, there’s no gray area between killing for a living and killing to stay alive....

Reader Review:
  The Gray Man is an action-packed, suspenseful ride that I didn't want to put down. Court Gentry is the kind of hero I am always looking for. He is resourceful, driven to get the job down, and a stone cold survivor. As I read this book, I was thinking, "Really? Did that just happen? I'd be so dead now!"
    Court believes in doing the right thing, and only kills bad people or to protect himself. I liked that even in the desperate situation he faces, Court doesn't lose sight of what he values. He's definitely the kind of guy I'd want on my side.
