A Farewell to Skiing
The last thing Lars Svensson wanted was a 'holiday romance' at a skiing chalet in Verbier, Switzerland. After all, he was just an American ex-pat moving around the United Kingdom, working as a site engineer and struggling in a relationship with his English girlfriend. Feeling the need to get away and encouraged by his workmates, Lars sets off across the English Channel hell-bent on making up for lost time on the slopes. That was to be expected. What was not expected was his falling for a fellow chalet guest. Annabel is the kind of girl you'd bring to a dinner party after bagging her on safaris in Africa. Author Kurt Larson uses a stream-of-consciousness technique to take you through the mind of a man torn between his love of women and his taste for skiing. Or maybe it's the other way around. You'll find his characters enjoying life on the pistes, in the powder, on the road, in the bedroom-and dealing with tragedy in true British style as observed through the eyes of an American.
Under the Batholith
Kurt Larson has developed an epic mining exploration novel in the pages of Under the Batholith. The principal character is a young mining engineer called Lars Svensson, down on his luck in Wyoming, having being fired over an office affair with an older woman. A big oil company, desperate for success in its newly acquired mining interests, selects him to represent their interests on a gold exploration site on the Isle of Mull in Scotland. How Lars gets there, who he meets and what he finds is the stuff of great adventure. Kurt Larson's exciting style of writing and eye for detail will keep you turning the pages to find how greed gets the better of people.
Winter Carnival (Queen)
In the early 1980's things were getting better. The Iranian Embassy hostages were coming home. Reagan was in office. And it was Winter Carnival week at Michigan Tech., a tough engineering college in the spectacular winter wilderness of the Upper Peninsula. For most Tech. students, Winter Carnival was a time to forget studying and concentrate on four days of partying, snow statues, and ice hockey. For Lars Svensson, his angst with life and his frustration with women is buried by his attempts to be "big man on campus." After all the hard work of helping to make the best of a hard winter in Upper Michigan, Lars finds himself missing most of 'da Carnival.' He spends it competing for his university at an Alpine Skiing race in Duluth. When he returns, an unexpected encounter creates a new beginning in is life.

Michigan State Football
Michigan State University's football history is overflowing with famous, interesting, and colorful figures. From Gideon "Charlie" Smith, who in 1913 became one of the nation's first black collegiate players, to George Webster, the "Greatest Spartan of All Time," to Morton Andersen, who still holds the Big Ten record for longest field goal-they are all Spartans. Earl Morrall, Bubba Smith, Lorenzo White... the list goes on. Added to this list of tremendous players are legendary coaches like the "Biggie" Munn and Duffy Dougherty. And who could forget the famous 10-10 tie with Notre Dame in 1966 or the Rose Bowl victory over Southern Cal in 1987? Spartan tradition is more than the coaches and players on the field, however, and Michigan State Football: They Are Spartans offers many rare images and long-forgotten anecdotes about how the program became a player on the national stage. The early days as a farm college team, the development into a football power as an independent, the successful struggle to join the Big Ten conference, and of course, the historic rivalry with a certain team from Ann Arbor are all recounted in the pages of this book.
