Shann Ray Ferch may just be the most peaceful man I’ve ever met. I don’t know the Dali Lama and I totally missed seeing the Pope during his USA Tour 2015, but Shann Ray will serve as a satisfactory, calm-centered substitute for those two gentlemen. Shann the writer is every bit as open-hearted and gracious …
“Ivan Doig’s last book, finished before his April 9, 2015 death, is a story that is destined to live through its readers forever. I savored Donal/ Red Chief/ Scotty’s tales of life and adventure, high jinks and mischief, cowboys and hoboes, love and family. This is one of my top three fiction favorites of 2015… Loved it.” …

Happy Labor Day! We can’t think of any book more appropriate for the holiday than Work Song by Ivan Doig. It features beloved character Morrie Morgan (first introduced in The Whistling Season) and precedes Doig’s latest book, Sweet Thunder. But most relevantly for this post, it’s a story about miners and and unions in Butte, …
Ivan Doig lives and writes about a mile and a half from where I live and write – but there are times, and now is one of them, when it feels like he has taken up residence in my home office. I swear he’s standing right behind me, shaking his head and muttering unprintable things …

Many if not all are set in Montana during contemporary and historical time periods. Sweet Thunder features Morrie Morgan (Llewellyn) who had previous appearances in The Whistling Season.
