Red Ridge: Beyond the Painted Roads
()
About this ebook
Set in the year 2225.
For Torrin of Red Ridge, destiny as a leader begins at age 25. It is time he learned the secrets hidden deep within his mountain home of Monte Cristo: Secrets even his own mother has held from him. But his best friend Sherman will be there with him, just as he always has.
The great Dome in the mountains has also begun a journey. For 200 years it lay silent and menacing, well protected by the Red Ridge people. But silent it will be no more.
Friendships are rekindled and love introduced as five young adults revisit their past: A past of childhood pranks, laughter, hard work, and training.
Meet Oldstories who always has answers; Digger, the Irish stone mason who loves his Small Fries; the unforgettable Riley - a strong and beautiful woman who will be denied as a warrior by no one; the mad Russian general who could ruin it all: and the Forest Watchers who may come to the aid of the peaceful mountain people.
Authors note: I recently edited and revised this story (2015), to include the entire poem, 'The Snows of True Spring', and a locally enjoyed poem, 'The Spirit of Livin'.' My author name as well.

The Seattle area is where my roots first began. It's also where I've continued to live, love, play, and work. I was first introduced to Monte Cristo and the Robe Valley as a child by my parents. Years later I learned of it's important history and mingled it with images of decaying buildings haunted by whispers of the past in old mining tunnels, deep in the wilderness. Maybe that's when the roots of a story also began. I have hiked to and fished some of the lakes and streams in this story. I don't think I could avoid it - they're in my backyard. And when you love the wilderness, I suppose that's what you do. My first view of Twin Lakes, where the King's Tub lies, is one of the most awe inspiring sights I've ever witnessed. But if you plan to hike there, make sure you get your hiking legs in shape before attempting it. I have more stories to tell, poems to write, and hope I'm allowed the time to do so!
