TALES FROM WHEAT CREEK

Keith Mark's “Tales From Wheat Creek,” is an old fashioned series of stories involving faith, family, friends and hunting. These tales are inspired by the author’s lifetime of experiences including his upbringing, faith, family, as well as his experiences in the outdoors, the world of entertainment, business, and much more.  Sometimes it may be hard for the reader to separate fact from fiction, but that is part of what makes these stories so special.

An Old Hunting Story

For Christmas, there is a new installment in the “An Old Hunting Story” series.  Part 5, “Christmas,” is new. However, to fully understand, you need to read the series from the start! I hope you enjoy this five part series about John!
