Seeing Red: A Memoir by Jim HensonArborwood Press is proud to announce the release of two new books for the fall season and holidays ahead. Seeing Red: A Memoir was released in August. Seeing Red covers the four year period from 1973 to 1977 as Director of Deschutes County Mental Health. The tales in this book come from those years. He was seduced into taking the Directorship by its previous director, Charles Whitchurch, who was also known as "The Red Baron.
Jane Kirkpatrick, NY Times Bestselling author, describes Seeing Red as "Poignant, funny and authentically Jim. Seeing Red is a Doc Martin-esque return to an earlier Bend community with quirky and enduring characters, exceptional landscapes, a young family's settlement in a supportive community and an insider's look at community mental health and the tangles of state bureaucracy." Incessant Expectations by Kenneth Fenter
Incessant Expectations by Kenneth Fenter was released at the Florence Festival of Books at Florence, Oregon on Sept. 27. The original manuscript was written in 1976 the summer after author Fenter spent the summer of 1975 riding along with brother Mark Fenter, a commercial salmon fisherman out of Winchester Bay, Oregon. Although the novel is not based on Mark, it does follow closely the fishing techniques and customs used during that time as commercial salmon fishing was on the cusp of its existence as an industry on the Oregon coast.
The novel explores more than fishing with the main character Jim Howard as for the first time he is in a position to search for a mate. Because of his circumstance as a youth growing up in isolation on the farm, he must start from the beginning in learning how to form relationships.
The Arborwood Press website has been upgraded. Give either of these books autographed for Christmas. arborwoodpress.com
