Storyteller
Angus lives in Central Vermont. He rides in the hills around Brandon Gap, enjoys adventures on the lakes and rivers, hikes, makes a little music from time to time, and tells tall tales. Occasionally he writes those down on paper. This is his first novella.

Illustrator
Ethan lives in Central Vermont, too. He raises pumpkins, rides year-round on bikes of various BMI, and has gotten tangled up in a handful of art projects this year, including "Planted in the Sky," "The Brothers Dilphenstein," album art for Route 73 Records and this new thing you're reading about.
*Reviews
It was kind of cool ...I think.
I mean at least the first part I read about the guy who did the thing with the stuff. I can't remember if I actually finished it.
Some Dude
Chaney seems on a crusade to increase literacy among disadvantaged mountain bikers. Perhaps he should get his own house in order first.
Another Guy
This is definitely not the worst thing my son has done. We're told this is a phase he needs to work through. I would humbly ask you to buy the book.
Author's Mother
Per our H.R. policies, I'm only allowed to confirm the dates Mr. Nelson was employed here. I cannot comment on the events leading to his termination and arrest.

There have been so many fine books published this year exploring the metaphysical origins of mountain biking in Vermont through a picaresque lens, and this is one of the better ones.
