American Legend: The Real-Life Adventures of David Crockett now available in Audio!
David Crockett was an adventurer, a pioneer, and a media-savvy national celebrity. In his short-but-distinguished lifetime, this charismatic frontiersman won three terms as a US congressman and a presidential nomination. His 1834 memoir enjoyed frenzied sales and prompted the first-ever "official" book tour for its enormously popular author. Down-to-earth, heroic, and independent to a fault, the real Crockett became lost in his own hype, and he's been overshadowed by a larger-than-life, pop-culture character in a coonskin cap.
Now, American Legend debunks the tall tales to reveal the fascinating truth of Crockett's hardscrabble childhood, his near-death experiences, his unlikely rise to Congress, and the controversial last stand at the Alamo that mythologized him beyond recognition. In this beautifully written narrative, Crockett emerges as never before: a rugged individual, a true American original, and an enduring symbol of the Western frontier.

THE WEIGHT OF WATER
In 2014, I had the honor of being invited to accompany and write about adventurer Erik Weihenmayer’s historic “blind” kayaking descent of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Accompanying Erik was Lonnie Bedwell, another blind paddler. The powerful film The Weight of Water, by director Michael Brown, tells the incredible story of this daunting challenge through some of the world’s most iconic rapids and deep into the psyches of two paddlers and the remarkable team that guided and supported them. “The Weight of Water is a story of a blind man balancing fear of drowning in the chaos of whitewater rapids with the powerful desire to be free from a prison of darkness.” The award-winning film is currently on the film festival circuit. Check out news here: https://www.facebook.com/weightofwater/
Available for pre-order on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/the-weight-of-water/id1456973360?mt=6&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
