Sheriff Jim Aken and rancher Dale Mason join forces to track two crazed killers, one human, one not, in this last action packed episode. One is driven by indescribable pain while the other satisfies his insane hunger while killing anyone that gets in his way. Late one frigid night, an unlikely ally joins the heroes and the hunt takes on a much more serious tone. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Jackie Mason and old friend Beth McConnell busy themselves with Christmas preparations while the savage killer heads their way. Though unsuspecting and alone, the women are far from defenseless. Packed with action, Giant in the Snow also speculates on the unknown lives of these legendary creatures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining and informative voyage through cultural fantasies of the North, from sea monsters and a mountain-sized magnet to racist mythmaking. Scholars and laymen alike have long projected their fantasies onto the great expanse of the global North, whether it be as a frozen no-man’s-land, an icy realm of marauding Vikings, or an unspoiled cradle of prehistoric human life. Bernd Brunner reconstructs the encounters of adventurers, colonists, and indigenous communities that led to the creation of a northern “cabinet of wonders” and imbued Scandinavia, Iceland, and the Arctic with a perennial mystique. Like the mythological sagas that inspired everyone from Wagner to Tolkien, Extreme North explores both the dramatic vistas of the Scandinavian fjords and the murky depths of a Western psyche obsessed with Nordic whiteness. In concise but thoroughly researched chapters, Brunner highlights the cultural and political fictions at play from the first “discoveries” of northern landscapes and stories, to the eugenicist elevation of the “Nordic” phenotype (which in turn influenced America’s limits on immigration), to the idealization of Scandinavian social democracy as a post-racial utopia. Brunner traces how crackpot Nazi philosophies that tied the “Aryan race” to the upper latitudes have influenced modern pseudoscientific fantasies of racial and cultural superiority the world over. The North, Brunner argues, was as much invented as discovered. Full of glittering details embedded in vivid storytelling, Extreme North is a fascinating romp through both actual encounters and popular imaginings, and a disturbing reminder of the power of fantasy to shape the world we live in.

Book excerpt: One of the most terrifying creatures to be found in traditional Inuit stories is the nanurluk, a massive bear the size of an iceberg that lives under the sea ice. Its monstrous size and ice-covered fur make it an almost impenetrable foe. But when a lone hunter spots the breathing hole of the nanurluk on the sea ice near his iglu, he quickly uses his quick thinking and excellent hunting skills to hatch a plan to outsmart the deadly bear. Jose Angutingunrik, a gifted storyteller and respected elder from Kugaaruk, Nunavut, brings to life a story of the great nanurluk that has been told in the Kugaaruk region for generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glaciera, a beautiful country where the gentle dance of the seasons had been the norm, was hit by an unexpected and never-ending winter. Frostov, the powerful Frost Nephilim Giant, made up this scary spell. Our story starts in the middle of this cold grip, with a brave little girl named Lily. She has a heart as warm as the summer sun and decides she can't do nothing while her world is covered in ice. Zephyr is a wise Snow Owl whose wings cut through the cold air quietly, and Theo is a bear with fur as thick as snow. They are her loyal friends on this dangerous journey. They set out on a brave mission to free Glaciera from Frostov's cold grip and make the seasons balance again. As they walk through the cold environment, they come across strange and interesting animals. There are friends under the ice, waiting for the warmth of friendship to show them who they really are. Some are problems they have to solve, like snow and ice puzzles that test their bravery, determination, and relationship strength. You are getting closer to understanding the constant power of kindness and what it really means to be brave with each step you take. They have had a lot of different situations. Every person they meet, from the calm Ice Goblins who guard old bridges to the shivering Ice Fairies who are locked up in crystal prisons, adds to the rich tapestry of their trip. Lily and her friends learn that sometimes the most powerful thing is a kind word, an act of kindness, or a song that makes you feel warm in a cold place. The end of their quest is just as appealing as the first signs of spring. Frostov's scary music is beaten by the tune of warmth, a simple song sung with real hope and a desire to mend a broken heart. As the notes drift through the air, they have power beyond magic. They give Glaciera hope for rebirth and warms up the harsh winter. At the end of their trip, they find Glaciera reborn, a paradise where the seasons are once again in sync and friendship is as warm as the sun. It shows that understanding and care can soften even the hardest hearts, and that bravery, kindness, and unity are traits that can get us through the worst winters. In the story of Lily, Theo, and Zephyr, there is a glimmer of hope that shows that no matter how long the winter, spring will come when hearts are joined in purpose and love. Chapter 1: Winter Will Never End. The beautiful world of Glaciera was home to all kinds of animals living together in peace and happiness. The sun warmed the ground and flowers of every color covered the fields. The days were sunny, and birds singing and bees buzzing made a lovely sound. But one day, the peace broke down, and Glaciera's lively life was engulfed in a sudden, never-ending cold. This big change was caused by Frostov, the Frost Nephilim Giant, a powerful and holy being that lived in the farthest, most remote part of the frozen mountains. Frostov, who was all by himself in the universe and wanted the world to mirror the frost on his soul, cast a huge spell over Glaciera with a heart as cold as his icy realm. Frostov's magic changed the area. It got very cold, which meant winter would never end. Rivers and lakes turned to ice, and a chilling wind blew through the valleys. Soon, a thick layer of snow covered the lush grass, and the flowers that had made the area look so colorful before were no longer visible. People who lived in Glaciera used to enjoy the change of the seasons. Now, the giant's magic had trapped them in an endless cold, and they couldn't get out of it. The animals ran for safety because they weren't used to being so cold. The shift took place quickly and completely. In a beautiful area, trees with snow on their branches stuck out like frozen guardians. Even though the sun rose every day, Frostov's magic had created a veil of clouds that blocked the sun from reaching the area. This kept the area in a state of twilight, where day and night were trapped and neither was fully lit. Glaciera was still beautiful, but it was a beauty stuck in ice and frozen in time. It was a place of whispers and shadows where summer's warmth was a faraway memory. It was hard for people in Glaciera to get used to their new, cold world. They could no longer get the crops they used to have in plenty, and springtime was no longer exciting because they had to fight the cold all year long. Before, houses were open to nice summer breezes, but now they were protected from the constant frost. Fires were kept going all day and night to try to warm up the area. Frostov's spell of endless winter has changed Glaciera in ways that the people who lived there could not have imagined. It was time to see how long they could last in a world where the sun's warmth was just a dream. The torch of courage can be lit again even in the worst cases. Soon, a little girl named Lily lit this spark again. Her heart was as warm as Glaciera's long-gone summers. Along with her friends Zephyr the Snow Owl and Theo the Bear, her journey would be a bright spot in the icy darkness as they worked to end the Frost Nephilim Giant's never-ending winter and bring the seasons back into balance. Chapter 2: How Lily Was Found. Lily was a lively little girl who lived in a loving small town in the middle of Glaciera's beautiful area. Like a beam of light, Lily was always brave and interested. It was always warm and fun in the town, with its cute cottages and friendly people. It seemed like winter would never end, with its thick cover of snow and strong winds, as the days turned into weeks and then months. Lily and the other people in the town noticed this. The cold season had gone on for much longer than it should have, turning the once-jolly snowfalls into a constant cold that filled every home and heart in the town. Lily's sharp eyes told her that this winter was different from most. It was still outside, and the trees' branches were heavy with icicles instead of flowers. The flowers that should have been blooming were covered by snow. Rivers that used to be roaring with the sound of melting snow were now quiet because of thick ice. With winter never ending, the village's happy mood had been dampened by the darkness. Lily made a brave choice because she cared about what she was doing and felt a strong connection to her house. She wouldn't let the hard cold take away from Glaciera's beauty. She was going on a quest to find out why winter wasn't finishing and how to get out of it. Lily got ready for her trip with hope and determination in her heart. She knew it would be hard to get there because the land beyond her town was big, uncharted, and covered in ice and snow. She felt better when she thought about how the flowers were growing again and how happy her loved ones were that spring was here. Lily understood that this trip wasn't just about her own goals; it was also about restoring Glaciera's natural balance and the yearly harmony that had made her birthplace so amazing and fun.
