January 12, 2007
Michael's a great hunter and a wonderful writer. I hope you enjoy
the story behind the 2004 Boone & Crockett and 2005 non-typical
from Saskatchewan.

The story is from North American Whitetail, July 2006 issue, also
an online read for now. I don't know how long it will be up, so for
those of you who'd like to read the current story, follow this link:  

North American Whitetail
2005 Non-typical
As promised, here is a photo of my son's 2004 Boone & Crockett.
When I saw how enormous the head and neck were hanging on the
wall, I couldn't imagine the size of the body. Huge.

His story was published in the September, 2005 issue of
North American Whitetail Magazine.
2004 Boone & Crockett
Until next time, I wish you happiness, butterflies . . . and music.

Please look for the July, 2006 issue of North American Whitetail to read Michael DeVaney's latest deer triumph.
October 28, 2005
As promised, although late, here's the information on my son's story
publication. Look for the September, 2005 issue of
North American
Whitetail
.
On the last page of the magazine is a section called
Trails and Tails.
The title of the story is "
An Unbreakable Bond."

Michael's story is moving and well done. If anyone is interested in
looking at the site, the web address is
www.northamericanwhitetail.com.

We're so proud of his work, especially since the story is about his
daughter,  Emaleigh. If you get a chance, please locate a copy and read a
touching story from a father in memory his daughter..

If you'd like to send an email to Michael, send it to
nanacjd@earthlink.net and I'll see that he gets it.
Neither my son, nor myself, knew at the time I sent off my story that
the stories were so closely titled. His is "An Unbreakable Bond" and
mine was "Unbreakable Bond." Kind of eerie.

I still haven't heard back on a publication date for my story. When I do,
I'll post it here.

Grace Will Lead Us Home, isn't complete as of this writing. Soon I
hope though.

Fall is here and I love the fresh air, colors of leaves that paints the
mountains and the feel of freedom Fall always brings.

Until next month, many blessings in your writings and in life.
December 26, 2004
This past year brought about life changing events. Like many of you, we've lost a precious loved one. For that my heart goes out to
you. Life and holidays will never be the same, but, we'll go on. We must.

On a brighter note, I've had another short story accepted for publication. Look for
UNBREAKABLE BOND, in honor of my
Granddaughter, Emaleigh Grace, coming soon in
Hope For Life After Love, Anthology. A firm publication date is pending and I'll post
the date as soon as I receive notification.

My son traveled with three other hunting friends to
Saskatchewan in November for a life-long dream of hunting Whitetail deer.
While there, his ultimate hunting dream came true. On his five and half day trip, he got a 320 pound, 11 pointer, "green" gross,
scoring 181
Boone and Crockett points.

If any of you are interested in reading more on his trip, I'll post a link when the story is out. You won't want to miss this great
rendition

I'm getting back to writing on a novel, too long on the back burner. Also, I'm writing Grace Will Lead Us Home, dedicated to my
granddaughter. At its completion, I'll post further information.

I've made many new friends this year, for which I'm thankful. The love of Family and Friends are what matter when all else is out
of sorts.

May the upcoming year be the best ever for you. If you're a writer, keep writing, submitting and believing. Dreams do come true.
