Kathy Heicher’s “Early Eagle” was the first of several books she’s written on the history of Eagle County, and her stories are great resources for residents and visitors – really anyone who wants to know. more on the Eagle Valley. She has written about the miners, farmers and ranchers, farmers and city notables of the last century. She has also published “Bridges of Eagle County,” featuring the steel arch of Red Cliff and the historical significance of other notable bridges and the role they played in the development of the county. In “Eagle County Characters,” Kathy writes entertaining and informative stories about the colorful settlers and adventurous pioneers who shaped our community into what it is today.

In “The Gopher King: A Dark Comedy” by Gojan Nikolich, Stan Przewalski is a former platoon sergeant who was the sole survivor of a jungle ambush during the Vietnam War. After revisiting his past on a sightseeing visit to Vietnam, Stan returns home to cope with PTSD, while mourning the loss of his wife. Despite his suicidal tendencies and heavy medication, he tries to cope and continue his job as a newspaper editor in a small town in Bull River Falls, Colorado. Her community also faces many issues – the unsolved murder of a young girl, the development of a golf course and a raging wildfire. As Stan relates these local stories, he meets Chaz, a groundhog who leads his own army. Chaz also wears parachutist boots and rock band T-shirts. This story, which has been described as a mix of “Platoon” and “Caddyshack”, is the best of magical realism – about the friendship between Stan and Chaz, aka the Gopher King. Nikolich published his novel last year, and it was critically acclaimed and was a finalist for the Indie Prize. He lived in Eagle for a number of years and was the editor of the Eagle Valley Enterprise.

In “Lyrics for Rock Stars” Heather Sappenfield wrote an eclectic collection of Colorado short stories with a huge array of characters having epiphanies. The first part presents “Songs of Innocence”, with coming of age stories where young people often have revelations, making them grow up quickly. A teenage girl has a crush on a cowboy, a young boy finds out about KKK, and a girl finds out that her burro racing dad isn’t the hero she thinks he is. ‘Songs of Wisdom’ Adult Stories feature a mother escaping to see wild horses in Utah, a ski instructor watching over the safety of her inexperienced student, a pregnant woman attracted to a musician who is not her husband and a centenarian who watches first walk on the moon. Each story truly feels like a new song, and this collection is a love story for our beautiful state of Colorado. Sappenfield has also published award-winning novels for young adults, and his next book, “The River Between Hearts”, will be released next February.
