"Bad Water and Other Stories of the Alaskan Panhandle" - Read Stories About the Alaskan Wilderness

KETCHIKAN, Alaska - June 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Ever wonder what it would be like to live in the remote Alaskan wilderness? Bad Water and Other Stories of the Alaskan Panhandle is a collection of fictional short stories set in southeast Alaska on an archipelago about the size of Florida. Those that live in this remote part of Alaska do whatever it takes to make it work. These are their stories.

There aren’t many people here, but most live in a few small scattered towns. Some live in the more remote areas of the thousands of miles of coastline and hundreds of backwater bays and coves, and they make a living doing whatever is available.

Alaska is a place where geography and weather dictate behavior, which could mean eating the same dried beans, rice, deer meat, and fish for a good part of the year. With no freeways and little law enforcement (a 911call means contacting the Coast Guard), people learn to be self-sufficient, especially in times of emergency. Sometimes people make their own solutions to solve problems. If your solution doesn’t work and you’re still alive, it’s time to try another! There’s a freedom in Alaska that can’t be had in civilization, but the price is high.

About the Author: Tom Hunt and his wife live on a small island about a mile from Ketchikan, Alaska. There aren’t any cars or roads, so everyone lives on or by the water.  They’ve worked in construction, commercial fishing, and teaching. “We live in a cove named Whiskey Cove, a name from prohibition days when Canadian liquor was sold to locals before it was transported to town. The first paragraph of the story ‘Making Do’ is a good description of Whiskey Cove.”
