Thank you for responding. It could have been either of those. I have cousins that still live in Alaska & my uncle wrote several books about his experiences working with bears.

I've really enjoyed both of your novels and look forward to reading whatever you write next.

Oh wow -- I have Will Troyer's "Into Brown Bear Country" sitting right here on my desk. Is that your uncle? It's a fantastic book! And probably where I stole the name from. Never thought I'd be caught out on my fictional name stealing :)

Yes, that's my uncle's book. How funny!
