DANCE ON THE WILD SIDE
From Roland's Bookstore
I'm distressed by the idea of Jane wanting
to compete in a man's world. That's the way my wife refers to her growing enchantment
in outdoors adventure. The idea infuriates me. I understand that anyone who really is
anyone must struggle with everday problems and
relationships. I realize love must be learned and earned, and that it can be lost through
mistakes or choices made or not made during life.
Some might applaud the thought of a lady determined to become her "own woman" in a
man's world. Not me. What bothers me is not that my petite wife of more than five decades
wants to compete in outdoors proficiency, but
where in hell does she, or anyone else, get the idea
that all in nature belongs to men?
This book, then, is about two people in love, sharing a life of dreams and adventure --
and growing in the process. In reality, it's
about any couple who live and love and share and struggle to achieve the life they wish. What makes this story especially remarkable is
how many time this couple fell on their butts
while doing so!

Roland claims elk took him to the wildlife dance many
years ago. It's a story of one man's journey from elk hunter with
tunnel vision, to become a recognized naturalist with
a love for all outdoors
Being a dense cowboy from the mountains of Montana, Roland was slow
to understand that New York publishers think a book must be set somewhere
between Central Park and the Hudson River to be worth their reader's while. That's
why when he crafted the book of his and Jane's life of love and adventure, he decided
to quite selfishly keep the book for his and Jane's own profitable little
publishing company. Dance On the Wild Side is in its 2nd printing.
I just read Dance On the Wild
Side and couldn't put it down. I want everyone in my family to read it. I just ordered Learning To Talk Bear and can't wait to get started.

While on vacation this summer I was in Wal-Mart
in Bozeman and found some signed copies of Dance On
the Wild Side. I loved it, and ordered more. I love all I've
read, Chocolate Legs being remarkable. Your writing is outstanding. - Phyllis Hammons e-mail
