Its an excitement that can only be found in the mysteries of the printed page.
Reading a book puts you in the action like nothing else, Hooper says.
Youre not just watching stuff happen, as with TV and other passive pursuits. Youre part of whats happening. Youre experiencing a special time and place from the inside.
Hoopers previously published mystery novel, Martial Law in Yakima, drew on his involvement in the martial arts (he holds a black belt in two different systems).
Hidden Valley returns to the same general turf the Yakima Valley in Central Washington. But this mystery, for readers 10 and up, is one for the prehistoric ages.
Speaking for myself, the author says, I wouldnt miss it for the world. The primeval world, that is.
