I originally came up with the idea when I was explaining to my children why our dog Snicker had to be euthanized. I wanted to show children that death is a natural part of life, and although we may feel sad about it, sometimes it is for the best. In the wild, animals depend on the death of another for their own survival. Hopefully, I have been able to show death in a very positive way in Song of the Raven. Patty Kilson”

“Anchorage, Alaska”: Publication Consultants, 10/1/05. First Edition. Perfect Bound. Like New/Like New. “Above the Arctic Circle transports the reader back in time to the Alaska of 1911 into the Athabaskan Indian village of Fort Yukon and beyond. It was a time when travel was by trail or river on routes shared by man and wild beast, when communication reached only as far as the echo of one’s voice, and when the first order of each new day was survival in the face of unyielding natural elements. This is the time and place chronicled in the personal journals of James A. Carroll: explorer, pioneer, dogsled musher, trapper, trader, husband, and father. It is an authentic first-hand account of a young man’s first decade in the territory of Alaska, a straightforward telling of the adversity and adventures of life on the far north frontier. This story, told with honesty and more than a little humor, offers a kind of kinship connecting author and reader thereby extending a personal invitation to… Read More
