Someplace North, Someplace Wild by Gary Brumbelow – Book 1 cover

Twenty-two-year-old Cody Brandon’s journey from Texas to British Columbia has turned into a nightmare.

After he snags a mountain ranch job … and gets smitten with a beautiful schoolteacher … and faces down an attacking grizzly with a rock, Cody’s at the top of the world.

But bad news finds him. He’s wanted for murder, and the feds are coming.

Julie Stewart, meanwhile, striving in her first semester as teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in a neighboring mountain village, gets a shock. This cowboy is stealing her heart.

They share a love for adventure, the mountain wilderness, and a common faith, but will they have opportunity to share a future?

The above is back-cover copy for Gary’s first novel, available wherever books are sold.Author Gary Brumbelow

Notable praise for Someplace North, Someplace Wild

Critical acclaim includes this from Jerry Jenkins, Writer of the Left Behind series: Gary’s story has all the twists and turns you want in a yarn that just might keep you up all night. Enjoy and be looking for more from him!  [Someplace North, Someplace Wild was originally released by Elk Lake Publishing.]

Here’s what best-selling author and pastor Stu Weber had to say: Writing like an evangelical Louis L’Amour, Gary Brumbelow has an uncanny ability–by engaging our senses and implanting us into the middle of the story–to lead us to evaluate our own lives.  What might I have done trapped in a similar circumstance! It smacks of my favorite of Jesus’ parables. 

Someplace North, Someplace Wild is a raw tale of courage, resilience, and the pursuit of one’s dreams against all odds. Gary Brumbelow delves into complex relationships, unfulfilled expectations, and the transformation of letting go of the past to embrace the promise of a new beginning.

We admire those who brave strenuous and risky outdoor adventures. In Someplace North, Someplace Wild, Gary Brumbelow tells a story about challenges with elements, geography, and people set in the high mountain grassland of British Columbia. Hard work, romance, crime, and biblical values shared by some of the characters in the story kept me reading and reflecting. Fasten your seatbelt—you are in for a ride with this book! I hope for a sequel, perhaps cast in a rugged region of Alaska.

— Loren Leman, P.E., former Alaska legislator and Lieutenant Governor
