Recent release "Cabin in the Woods or How A Kid From Brooklyn Wound Up with 20 Acres of Deer Poop" from Page Publishing author Alexandra Sloan is a humorous, sometimes touching look at a woman's life in a place where wildlife is the norm not the exception, and modern conveniences, that are taken for granted in the city are sometimes hard to come by. It's a must-read for anyone who appreciates nature, humor, or the beauty of the written word.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alexandra Sloan, is a former New Yorker currently living in Northern California having previously worked for ABC-TV network. She inherited her writing traits from her uncle, who was touted by his mentor, the great editor Maxwell Perkins as the next Hemingway. Alexandra has completed her new book "Cabin in the Woods or How A Kid From Brooklyn Wound Up with 20 Acres of Deer Poop": a gripping and potent tale of how she had to adapt to the slower pace and other challenges of Northern California after living in the big cities of New York and Los Angeles.
Alexandra writes, "Blindly, we stumbled through the process of converting from city mice to country mice. One night, with the first really hard rainfall, we became aware of a repeated sound. The closest we could compare it to was the sound of pebbles being thrown against glass. Accompanying the sound was buzzing, as if a hive of bees were swarming. These were not common sounds in Brooklyn or Los Angeles when it rained, and the nighttime only added to the oddness of it all.
"Here we were, two grown-ups nearly in midlife, huddled together like teenagers in a horror movie, going out the side door to see what was going on. We put the lights on and stepped outside. Flying all around us were, as we later learned, rain beetles. They are medium-sized (for beetles) with furry legs and antennae that looked like pairs of false eyelashes. They were bumping blindly into us, the side of the house, and anything they came in contact with. We laughed, first, from relief, then from the sight of these odd creatures flying with what seemed no purpose or objective. Where did they come from all of a sudden?"
Published by Page Publishing, Alexandra Sloan's delightful tale tells of how she had to adapt to living in Northern California and her life in general.
Blending stunning personal narratives with witty observations, "Cabin in the Woods or How A Kid From Brooklyn Wound Up with 20 Acres of Deer Poop" is a humorous, first-person account about the challenges of living in rural Northern California. It describes how a woman finds herself amid situations with which she had no prior experience, but still must deal with them daily; handling occurrences so alien that nothing in her background or the places she had lived could prepare her for them. That was Alexandra's problem. This book will appeal to anyone who wants to read about the joys and challenges of building a house, raising a child, dealing with wildlife, and being alone much of the time. Readers may fall in love with one or more of her four or two legged children.
