Publisher Description This story opens with the unfolding tragedy of a young woman coming to Alaska in 1957. Her life is marked with the birth of three children from three separate men - one who is her husband, one who takes her by force, and a third who becomes her common law husband in the wild north. In such a short period of time, Ella G dies a tragic death, but her children become the protagonists of the emerging story. Their characters are developed separately, and through their outrageous Alaskan trials, they ultimately meet at the 25th anniversary of their mothers death at a graveyard in Anchorage.This book centers on the gold in the Alaskan hills, its mining and claim jumping, the rivalry between the antagonist (McKenzie) and the protagonist (Cayote) resulting in substantial violence - multiple gunfights, fist fights, arson, car crashes, and so forth. Ultimately, the protagonist loses his life in a plane crash exploring the mystery of the book (which will not be revealed here). The children have, however, gone their own way - RT becoming a politician, Bethra a criminal defense attorney, and Ernie a gold and ivory smuggler. They find a huge cache of gold in the midst of this adventure which is lost, stolen, found, and relocated, and in the middle of this they come upon a cache of woolly mammoth tusks. The remainder of this story concerns itself with smuggling these tusks out of Alaska to exchange them for weapons. While the vulgar culture, the street violence, and the crass relationships are the center of the story, the tusk found in the wild is the thing upon which it all centers. Author Biography Stephen Pidgeon left California as a child to become a stranger in the land of Alaska. He arrived in time for the Great Alaskan Earthquake. Life thereafter became an intense adventure, heaving up and down like seismic waves. Leaving high school to travel on the road with a rock band, he returned to Alaska to capture a degree in piano performance and then justice. He followed a career in both music and law and performed dozens of piano concerts, premiering his original pieces for piano solo where possible. Ultimately, the arts overcame pragmatism, and he allowed inspiration to move into the world of fiction. A task once started yearned for completion, and he was finally able to capture those images that would become Tusk.
