Ahead of the Flaming Front reading and discussion Start: 11/21/2013 6:00 pm End: 11/21/2013 7:30 pm Join me on Thursday, Nov. 21st at 6pm at Rediscovered Bookshop located at 180 N. 8th Street Boise, ID 83702 for a reading, signing, and discussion about Ahead of the Flaming Front. Here's the write-up: Jerry Mathes is a local author published through Idaho's own Caxton Press who fought wildfires for fourteen seasons. He has taught writing at the University of Idaho and at the Southernmost Writers Workshop in the World at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica. From the book bio: In Ahead of the Flaming Front, Jerry D. Mathes II takes readers into the heart of wildfires from the forests of Idaho to the deserts of the Mexican border—and directly into the lives of the men and women who face the terror, beauty, and hardship of life on the fire line. His story testifies to their extraordinary camaraderie, forged by thunderstorms that scatter lightning and hail, high summer heat and shivering nights in which bears prowl through wilderness camps, and quiet days of reflection, waiting for what may come next. I hope to see you all there! - Jerry
