“It was 2007 and my bookstore, From My Shelf Books & Gifts had been open for almost a year,” said Kevin Coolidge, owner. “We were selling both new and used books. An older man came in. He identified himself as Joe Parry, an outdoor writer and a Vietnam-era veteran. Joe wanted me to sell his books.

“I was writing a column for the Wellsboro Gazette reviewing newly published books. He told me he used to write for the Wellsboro Gazette as well as ‘Pennsylvania Game News’, ‘Field & Stream: Finns and Feathers’, ‘Turkey Magazine’ and more. Mostly, he had contributed short stories he had written about hunting, fishing and the outdoors to them.

“He wanted to put together an anthology of his short stories, but didn’t know how to do it. He had a folder filled with great stories, more than enough for a book.
