Author in Rome About Joshua Seidl's
North Country novels:


& B. C. Portfolio

     Hawk Dancer and the follow up companion novel Cloudburst, are works of historical fiction set in the pristine wilderness communities of the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin Great Lakes region. These are moving and at times dynamic accounts of the three major cultural grouping in the region, Native American, Euro-American and Métis (mixed race) from 1934 to the present day.
     The main protagonists, Richard Hawk Dancer White, and Job born in 1917 set the stage. Baby Boomers, Randy, Dean and Erik, also central characters in the accounting arrive in the very early 1950s. These novels, just like the real history they are set in, have their better moments and their dangerously trying times.
     The inter-cultural, inter-racial relationships are tested. Biases expose themselves; but over all, the novels move towards positive reality and possibilities.

     All the information you need to buy my books can be found using the “buy” button above. But here are a few pointers for on-line or for “walk in” brick and mortar book stores ↓

St. Patrick's Cathedral, NY NY 1. Walk In Book Stores: The ISBN number (almost all books have one located on the back cover or inside on one of the first few pages), the title of my book(s), my name as author (Joshua Seidl), and the Publisher is located on the “buy” page for you to copy or print out and take to almost any book store large or small.

2. On Line Book Sellers: I have direct links to my books listed with major trusted book sellers such as the publisher (Publish America), Barns and Noble, and Amazon.com, and Chapters/Indigo of Canada. Many other sources nation wide and international feature my book, but I cannot vouch for them.

3. Signed Copies All of my contact information is on the “buy” page or on the “Contact Me” page. Do not send me payment until you have contacted me to make sure I have a sufficient supply on hand. I keep a very limited number of books on hand at any given time to sign and sell; but I am happy to accommodate these requests and at at a discount.

About the picture right and slightly above: This was taken of me (the author) as I climbed the steps to St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, NYC, NY on Friday June 25, 2010. I didn't care for messy construction across the street, so I filled in my own background.

Erik Fern, age 15 in 1967

Meet Erik Fern
of Birch Clump, MI


     . . . And while your at it, hand him your car keys.
     On second thought, that might not be such a good idea. Although he looks innocent enough, the 15 year old (in 1967) occassionally acted indiscreetly on impulse.
