New Release!

The LAst Miner

The Last Miner is a captivating memoir chronicling the final days of mining exploration in Utah’s legendary Little Cottonwood Canyon during the 1950s. Through the eyes of Dick Fluehe, the last living miner to traverse these haunted, silver-laden tunnels, readers are immersed in a forgotten world beneath the internationally renowned Alta and Snowbird ski areas. With a knowledge as deep as the mines themselves, Dick’s humor and wit recounts tales of collapsed shafts, gloriously jeweled stopes, and colorful personalities, such as “Swingin’ Door,” “Slick,” and “The Bull,” who lived and died pursuing ore. It is the equivalent of floating the mighty Mississippi with Mark Twain as your personal guide.

About Dan

I love stories and their telling, especially through books. Making books (because to create one is more than simply putting words to paper) is a rewarding and collaborative, if arduous, adventure. I’ve found that it’s never not worth the uncertainty, self-doubt all writers experience, and inevitable obstacles. To create is a positive activity.

 

I’d say my site is primarily about books. However, in the process of  creation it morphed, like any story, into something more and became a repository for other projects. So have a browse and I hope you find something of value in addition to a good book. Cheers.
