Michael O. Giles

 

If you’re going to write about something and do it well, you have to have hands-on experience with your subject.  Mike Giles is an expert fisherman, deer hunter and nobody is better at fooling a cagey old gobbler. When it comes to transferring his experiences with critters from the woods to words, few do it better.
 
The same is true for being involved with interesting people with unusual stories to tell. Mike has the ability to tap into the emotions and experiences of such people, translating what he sees, hears and feels into moving and gripping stories.
 
I’m confident you’ll find within the pages of this book, the heart of Mike Giles. This is a book that once you start reading, you’ll find hard to put down.
