(Down a lonely, country road in the hinterlands of Maine's...)
Down a lonely, country road in the hinterlands of Maine's western mountains, author Angelo Kaltsos found beauty in a camp called "West Branch." In Of Bears, Mice, and Nails, Kaltsos tells of discovering an old hunting camp built almost 100 years ago and of his efforts to refurbish the camp to make it his home. Although he grew up and worked in large cities, nature called to Kaltsos. It lured him to woods, parks, and the outdoors. For more than thirty years he has made his home in a small cabin near the Appalachian Trail. Kaltsos first spied the property with spectacular views in 1967; he rented a home prior to purchasing the camp in 1978. In Of Bears, Mice, and Nails he describes his simplistic lifestyle with no indoor bathroom, no electricity, no generator, no solar panels, no telephone, and no television. He's gained knowledge of carpentry and agriculture, and learned to plant and care for trees, vegetables, flowers, grapes, and berries. His story includes excerpts of comments left by visitors in his outhouse guestbook who describe the wonders of spending time in a rustic, quiet, and magical place.

(When nineteen-year-old John Boulis is recruited to assist...)
When nineteen-year-old John Boulis is recruited to assist in a daring late evening burglary, he never would have guessed the night would end with the tragic murder of police sergeant William X. Hannigan.On the ill-fated night that would forever tarnish his family name, young John sneaks out of his home and heads down to the black 1941 Plymouth sedan waiting for him outside. While on their way, the man driving the car gives John a revolver. After introductions are made between the four men involved, they go over the details-where they are heading, what they are going to steal, how they are going to gain entry, and the details on exiting the building. When the occupants of the apartment return in the middle of the heist, all hell breaks loose. It quickly becomes an "every man for himself" situation that escalates violently and out of control for John-and Officer Hannigan.Music You Will Never Hear is told from the perspective of the nephew of John Boulis, who was living with his grandmother and John in New England when the crime was committed. From his arrest, to his time in confinement, to time spent with him after parole, author Angelo J. Kaltsos relates the story of his guitar-playing uncle's wasted life.
