Tales
of Yosemite

GENRE:
Fiction

BLURB:
A
land of vast beauty and constant change, Yosemite National Park never
ceases to amaze and inspire its visitors. And fiction writer Jonathan
Williams, an avid camper and fan, is no exception. In four charming
short stories, he captures the Park’s diverse landscape and unique
wilderness, using it as backdrop in all its glory to tell his tales.
“The
Condor Suit” tells the story of Tim whose life-long dreams of
flying prompts him to move to a small town in the foothills of the
Sierra to pursue his quest: building a bird suit and flying into the
Park. In “Dog Lake,” a young boy on a Yosemite camping trip falls
into the lake and disappears, only to discover another world lurking
beneath its surface, and the lake magically comes to life. “The
Rescue” tells the story of a hiker, and the unusual relationship he
forms with a bear and her cub in the park. And with “The Old Man in
the Sierra,” visitors in Yosemite National Park encounter a strange
man leaving them wondering if he is the Park’s notorious mystery
man? Does he exist, or is he the stuff of everyone’s imagination,
and simply part legend, part ghost?

EXCERPTS:
Condor
Suit:"Tim
was about twenty four miles into the flight and passing the main Park
entrance when he noticed something strange. His vision became
clearer, and things became brighter."
Dog Lake:"Nathan found himself in a large empty room surrounded by water. He carefully touched one of the glass walls, and his fingerprints smeared."The Rescue:"Instinctively, I made as much noise as possible, and blew my whistle but the mountain lion continued toward me."The Old Man and the Sierra:"The Old Man stood drenched, his outback hat offering little protection. His eyes closed, he faced the gales, the rain striking his weathered face, and he opened his mouth to the downpour."
