Lolo Paige fought wildfires. Years later she authored her Blazing Hearts Wildfire Series novels.
Set in Alaska, Lolo's stories revolve around the wildfire industry where men and women work closely as teams to face life-threatening situations. Throw in some sizzling relationships and you have a page turning novel that ends to quickly with readers seeking more. So, Lolo obliges.
She adds Alaska Blaze and a lighthearted comedy Hello Spain, Goodbye Heart you'll find in our Book Review Section
Joe Jackson, talks about his book, It's Only Fishing: Tales of Alaska, fly fishing and young adulthood. You’ll find his book, links and extended podcast in our Book Review Section.
Because fly fishers are so passionate, we asked our Science Guy, Dr. Gordon Snyder, to join us. He became one of the foremost authorities on water science because of his love for fly fishing. We're not sure if the interview is about Joe's book or fly fishing!

Book Review Section!
Today's show featured Stan Jones and Mike Gordon. Stan writes mystery fiction. Mike Gordon writes non-fiction but it's a mystery he's survived!
Two authors whose new books you'll find on our Big Alaska Show Book Review Section, http://www.bigalaskashow.com/book-reviews.
Authors, Lolo Paige and Chris Lundgren, joined the fun as our panel of author experts! Good books, good fun on our show this morning!
Dagnabit! by Mike Gordon
We're fortunate Mike Gordon wrote this book. Not just because his life is colorful and filled with entertaining Alaskan stories that morph over the decades into legend. We're fortunate because Mike Gordon has kept Ruben Gaines' legacy alive.
A broadcaster, writer, cartoonist, creative storyteller, mentor and close friend to Mike, Ruben Gaines helped define Alaska's character.
Just like his first book, Learning the Ropes, Mike's writing style is comfortable, fun to read and takes you from a Rustic Alaskan Saloon to the 7 tallest peaks in 7 continents. Plus, makes you wish you had met Ruben Gaines! https://www.mikegordonauthor.com/store

Ghost Light by Stan Jones
Stan Jones blends Alaska culture, fiction and mystery making it hard to believe it's not non-fiction! Might as well be. As Stan was telling us, "With the help of a demented Alaska Native elder, Chukchi police chief Nathan Active hunts for the killer who left a woman's expertly dismembered body in the ice cellar of an abandoned Inupiat Eskimo fish camp."
There's more good stuff. Read the book! You can find it here on Amazon!
Listen to Stan talk about his book along with authors, Lolo Paige and Chris Lundgren!
It's a fun, informative show when we get these two together on the Big Alaska Show!
Award winning author, Lolo Paige and our Science Guy, Dr. Gordon Snyder, join us to talk about Lolo's new romance novel, Alaska Inferno, and talk about overland wild fires.
Plus, our show started with an equipment glitch that we left in the full podcast. Or you can bypass it to go to our interview with Lolo and Gordon and find her book in our Big Alaska Show Book Review Section!
Happy Birthdays!
Our record setting "attempt" at the largest Big Alaska Show birthday celebration!
When Chad Carpenter, creator of Tundra Comics, joins us, you know it’s going to be fun!
With the Pandemic, political campaigns, plus last week’s show that dealt with the tragic suicide epidemic in our military- we needed comic relief!
Joining Chad are authors, Stan Jones and Chris Lundgren. Look for their books in our Book Review Section.
It means something extra when Kim Carlson has attendst he annual Polar Bear Jump Off in Seward, AK, as she has done for ten years—raising tens of thousands of dollars. She has dedicated her jumps, first to her mother, who was lost to cancer, and subsequently to other victims and their families.
It was a packed house and a packed show of fun! Alaskans and Texans- in the same room! Only on the Big Alaska Show can such a combination co-exist in the same room.
