A collection of fifteen stories. In fast-moving waters, the characters find solace from their painful pasts and fight to save that which is most endangered. Rivers, oceans, and ephemeral washes are not only settings, they're vessels for our most beloved element in all its liquid beauty, strength, and potential for violence. Steelies and Other Endangered Species: Stories on Water is an unforgettable journey on water by an author who knows it from the inside out, having guided on it, swum and sailed it, rowed and paddled it, and written about it for decades.
