Overview

Maybe the best way to explain Bill Heavey's writing is to note that both Ted Nugent and the Wall Street Journal-two entities rarely seen in the same sentence-like it. For more than twenty years, Heavey has staked a claim as one of America's best sportsmen writers. In feature stories and his Field & Stream column A Sportsman's Life, he has taken readers across the country and beyond to experience his triumphs and failures as a suburban dad who happens to love hunting and fishing. This new collection gathers together a wide range of his best work-tales that are odes to the notion that enthusiasm is more important than skill and testaments to the enduring power of the natural world. Whether he's hunting mule deer in Montana, draining cash on an overpriced pistol, or ruminating on the joys and agonies of outdoor gear, Heavey always entertains and enlightens with honesty and wit.

Jeff Harding is an American actor based in Britain. He is regularly seen in film and television, but he also maintains interest in fringe theatre. He is particularly active in radio and voice-over, having narrated over six hundred audiobooks in the UK for more than thirty years. In addition to acting, he has competed in rowing for many years--a sport he considers particularly appropriate for the narrator of Ben Hur.
