About this title

About the Author:

I was born and raised in Ashland, Wisconsin, a small town in northern Wisconsin bordering on Lake Superior. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy at age seventeen, and received an honorable discharge at age 21. After my service in the Navy, I attended the Wisconsin State University, Superior, Wisconsin, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree. After graduation, I had a successful 35-year business career with a large national company, retiring in 2001 at an executive level. During my business career, I was fortunate to be able to spend many hours fishing, camping, hunting, hiking, biking and berry picking in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Wyoming and Canada. Part time freelance writer, I ve been published in Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, , Bowhunter Magazine, Wisconsin Sportsman, Fur Fish & Game and Badger Sportsman. This collection of humorous outdoor stories is my first book.

Review:

A fine outing of wit, wisdom, and folksy charm . . . ---Michael Dunford, Reviewer, Midwest Book Review. How is this guy still alive? I thought, after reading the book . . . --- Ralph Ansami, The Daily Globe, Ironwood Michigan. Though his touch with humor is what makes this book shine, Crowley manages to tell these more serious stories in a light enough manner that they only help to round out an already worthy read, rather than weigh it down . . . --- Debbie Munson Badini, The Lakeland Times, Minocqua WI. Don t go fishing with Peter Crowley. Don t hunt with Crowley. Don t camp with Crowley. Don t ever get into a boat with Crowley. I haven t even met the guy and he gives me the willies . . . --- Jim Lee, Wausau Daily Herald, Gannett Wisconsin Newspapers. Pete Crowley is an incredibly lucky man. Over a span of more than 50 years, he has braved thin ice, intense storms and treacherous swamps in search of adventure in Wisconsin s North Woods and has somehow managed to survive one serious mishap after another . . . --- Dan Small PhD, Producer, Outdoor Wisconsin Television. Keeping the fine tradition of the hot stove story alive is Ashland author Peter F. Crowley . . . --- Rick Olivo, The Ashland Daily Press Though readers will be captivated by the humor in Crowley s book, he also tells many tales which reach deep down inside any seasoned sportsman. . . . --- Paul Mitchell, Sawyer County Record Trail Blazer magazine. --newspapers
