Alaskan Naturalist Kathy Slamp Authors “Little House in the Rain Forest”

Medford, OR (PRWEB) June 14, 2006

“Little House in the Rain Forest” is the latest release from author and Alaskan Naturalist Kathy Slamp. “Little House in the Rain Forest” (ISBN 0-9713345-7-9, $ 17.95) is a continuation of the true, exciting adventures of a childhood and adolescence in rugged Alaska that Kathy chronicled in her first book, “Little House in the Arctic.”

After five years in Alaska’s frigid Interior, Kathy’s family relocated to Juneau, Alaska’s territorial capital, which is located in the scenic Southeast Alaska Panhandle. After her first book, “Little House in the Arctic,” was published four years ago, Kathy was hired by a major cruise line to speak to their Alaska-bound passengers. Due to her amazing story telling ability, Kathy’s first book was warmly received by thousands of people from every country in the world. It is with the encouragement of her readers that Kathy presents this latest book.

Life in Southeast Alaska is breathtaking and beautiful, but it can be brutal as well. “Little House in the Rain Forest,” which is available at http://www.alaskathy.com, is a spellbinding account of life in Alaska before it was a state and before it was commercialized. Kathy blends the common everyday events of adolescence with the beauty and uniqueness of being raised at the back door of the wilderness. She does a brilliant job blending local and state history with personal experiences to present a captivating snapshot of Alaska from a young girl’s perspective.

Readers will be spellbound when they read about plane crashes, ship wrecks, and murder that came all too close to home, and feel as though they’re living life in a boarding house and going on picnics and hikes around world famous glaciers and sky-splitting mountains. With its 12 full color pages of vintage photos, “Little House in the Rain Forest” will captivate readers from beginning to end; it’s Kathy’s latest page-turner.
