First Bass and Other Stories
by
Terran Moffat
I'd like to post, before the description, that I've read this book and thoroughly enjoyed every word. I know the author through internet interactions and these tales made me feel like I was getting to know her better and I like her even more (if that was possible).
Description
There are no Death Stars or sparkling vampires in this little collection; no enchanted swords, or mushy, six-hanky chick lit tales. No. Instead, there is lots of mud, dirt, animal hair, the smell of dead worms baking in a hot car, and maybe a giggle or two. Come along on these six zany 99 44/100th percent true tales of the outdoor life. Action! Adventure! Fishing! Horses! Little sisters! The perfect bathroom book for those longer.... breaks.
DEER WARS: "Shoot zee deer, Terra. Vhy are you not shooting zee deer? Zhey are eating mein garten! Kill zhem all!" What happens when you have a landlord determined to eliminate an entire species from Tewksbury Township.
FIRST BASS: I undergo Bass Basic Training.
SHERRY AND THE RACCOONS: Have a hair-raising time with the Moffat sisters on safari in the wilds of northwesternmost Sussex County, NJ.
A GOOD HORSE: He was skinny. He made ugly faces. He was free, and he was my first horse.
CAMPING WITH MOM: A lifetime legacy of memories.
THE DEER LITTLE TAIL: "My first deer, Terra-Terra! My first deer!" Does a road kill count as a First Deer? My housemate at the time certainly thought so, since she saw it first. But then...
AUTHOR COMMENT: I was inspired by the great Patrick F. McManus, and I hope you find these mostly true adventures of my misspent sporting and farming youth as amusing.
