“Reading a Mike Altizer story is like sitting by

an evening campfire in a hunting camp. His gifts

are not only those of a fine storyteller, but a conjurer

of images, using words like artists’ brushes to color

the landscapes of his, and our, memories.

“Turn to any page, read a passage and you’ll discover

that you’ve become part of his landscape, the passages

beckoning you to the next mountaintop, the valleys beyond,

and the shorelines of our own personal memories.”

BY THE

AUTHOR!

F ROM THE AU THOR’ S I NTRO:“You’re in no hurry to finish the book,

and are instead content to let it proceed

at its own pace and with its own rhythms.

“For the creative process is too delightful

and blissfully close for you to want it to

end, and the only concern you have is

that you might die prematurely and leave

it unfinished and no one will know.”

. . . and that is preciselywhat almost happened.

Because less than a week after

the author returned from his latest

adventure along the Georgia

coast for redfish, he suffered

a sudden heart attack that

nearly took him.

And though this book

was for all intents and

purposes finished, that

single event reshaped itin ways even the writer himself

could never have imagined.

Nineteen Years to Sunrise is an intimate

and insightful collection of stories from a

lifetime of hunting and fishing across North

America – from the forests and rivers of

Alaska and the great Canadian Shield, to

the American West and the Florida Keys.

And, as you will read in these pages,

quite nearly from beyond.
