A Long Road To The Hot Spring Lodge.


 

I beg your pardon at not posting anything for some time now. I no longer live at the hot spring property, and have not for several years now. But that is a long story, one that I have included in the book I have been writing. There is much work to do yet but hope to have it back from the printers in the next few months. It will be available at selected book-stores and directly from the publisher. I will have all the details listed here when it is available you can be sure of that. So stay tuned. I think its a great story. I'll give you the blurb off the back of the cover to let you know what your in for...

     Descended from a long line of timber barons, mill-owners and silver-mine tycoons, from the author's unexpected entry into the world, he takes the reader along on his unique, and at times humorous learning experience along the road of life. He recalls growing-up on hill straddling the border in a haunted-house near Abbotsford, of going to prison at a young age, and reminisces about life along the shores of idyllic Okanagan Lake. There never was a time there was not a fork in his road, which took him on to many a varied experience. From motorcycles to the rough and tumble camps of northern Alberta, the boom or bust world of Yukon gold-mining, to adventures in the jungles of Latin America. In time he came upon a little known hot spring paradise nestled in the rugged coast mountains of BC. There he would clear a spot, build a log-cabin, install a hydro-electric plant and over the next three decades would transform the amazing and spiritual hot spring into something cherished by many. Balanced between two cultures, it was the subject of controversy, and like all dreams and roads, it would all come to an end someday. There is not another story like it.
