Let It Rain: A Paddler’s Guide to the Rivers of New England, New York, and Eastern Canada by Alden Bird

Since the slalom season ended I’ve been hard at work on my next book, a novel.  I have hundreds and hundreds of pages written, but so far it’s not very good and the plot still isn’t completely clear to me.  While it has been difficult and unsatisfying so far, I think that the problems I’m pushing through now amount to little more than learning the craft.  All the things I learned from making the guidebook haven’t been useless, but writing a novel is so different.  Sometimes I think that if I had only decided to do another guidebook, I could hammer it out so easily.  But a novel is a different kettle of fish.  Either way, that’s my update for now.

For now, if you would like to order the book, please click on the button to the right that says “Add to Cart.” I know there has been some confusion about that.  I will be adding more payment options at some point.

Also, if you would like to pay by mail, please send a check for 44.95 (48.95 if you live in Canada, or $42.40 if you live in Maryland) to:
