Reader Comments about Canyon Fires
"Again you have a great mix of old and new characters and as with the last few stories, other stories are foreshadowed. The plot line in this story was not amazing per se but it was as strong as an iron beam and you did a great job basing a story off it."
"I thought that this was one of your best stories. I certainly was a feast for those of us who've got to know Spearfish Lake in your earlier work."
"As usual, you've put together a fine cast of characters in intriguing situations and added just enough suspense to make the story a 'page-turner.'"

Facing the Storm
A Tale from Spearfish Lake by Wes Boyd ©2001, ©2009, ©2012
When John and Candice Archer's jobs go bad and their kids are sent to lousy schools, they decide it's time to get out of the city and head back to John's home in Spearfish Lake. It takes a little getting used to because their lives are different there, and they can't help but change to face new circumstances and new opportunities as well as finding new friends and new interests. But then, their new friends are undergoing changes, too. One couple is having trouble getting used to a slow life after challenging but intensive jobs; another's stable long-time relationship is not so stable any more, and a third couple is facing having to give up a dream of decades to face the challenges of the real world. None of it is easy, but they're all in it together.
