Instant Karma
Cultural Writing. Biography and Memoir. With the beauty and precision of a poet, Wayne Sheldrake examines his place in the close community of ski bums, people who give up "normality" to live on their own terms. Sheldrake's is a life of recklessness and restlessness, dedicated to adventure, courage, and the pure joy of second and third chances. He maps the hidden trails of virgin snow and conjures the rush of hucking off cornices and skiing blind in sudden snowstorms with exacting detail, all the while finding his way to understanding and accepting the powerful bonds of romance, friendship, and learning to let go. In Sheldrake's universe, "instant karma" is what happens when we believe our grandest passion can't be separated from the everyday, and then live in accordance with that faith. Wayne Sheldrake has lived in Colorado for over thirty years, working as a ski instructor, teacher, ranch hand, and river guide. He received an MFA from Antioch University-Los Angeles and has written for magazines such as Writer's Digest and America West. He lives with his wife in Southern Colorado. And he skies.

Honorable Bandit
Brian Bouldrey traveled to the island of Corsica, with its wine-dark Mediterranean waters, powdered-sugar beach sand, sumptuous cuisine, and fine wine. And then he walked away from all of them. Bouldrey strapped on a backpack and walked across Napoleon's native land with the same spirit many choose to dance or drink: to celebrate, to mourn, to think, to avoid thinking, to recall, to ignore, to escape, and to arrive. This wonderfully textured account of a two-week ramble along a famous Corsican hiking trail with his German friend Petra (she was good at the downhills while he was better at the uphills) offers readers a journal that is a launching point for reflection: thoughts on cultural differences, friendship, physical challenge, personal challenge, and getting very, very lost. Part travelogue, part memoir, and part lampoon, this book offers readers an impressionistic view of a little talked about yet stunningly beautiful landscape.

Instant Karma
Now an affordable soft-cover edition of the collectible 2007 cult classic. Burying the fears of real life in the real fears of life in the extremes, a dysfunctional college ski bum slides toward redemption-one euphoric ski run at time. Battling a volatile childhood, homelessness, open heart surgery, criminal habits, mutilating wrecks and the affliction of his own hidden death wish, this refugee finds a new life in the hideaways of North America's frontier powder outbacks. Seeking hallucinogenic immolations of bottomless snow and dodging the menace of his own recklessness, his unwitting and lucky transformation comes at the hands of likeminded friends and a providential romance.
