NOVEL READY FOR PUBLICATION

Life in the vast wilderness of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is idyllic for Mark and his teenage daughter Kate who move to their rustic cabin deep in the Sturgeon River Gorge; at least until their pleasant existence is violently disrupted when a Hindu Ashram buys a chunk of the scenic Gorge and decides to close off the only road to the public. In this impoverished rural area everyone is up in arms and ready for a fight. Humor, love and tragedy walk hand-in-hand in this gripping novel as Mark and Kate and friends, and also their implacable enemies, try to negotiate their lives around this new reality. The clash of religions, class and cultures in this dilemma mirror the larger tensions in our present society and will intellectually challenge even the most avid reader. As far right groups are emboldened to take on the Ashram a deadly confrontation ensues and the results change the order of life in this haunting tale of strife in the north woods. Only the mythic life of the wolves remain unchanged in the Wilderness of the Beast.
