"In reality, the story of the Furgary shacks is still an unfinished tale. Since the 2012 evictions, the shacks have remained in a kind of limbo." Tale from a river town: Conflict over Hudson fishing shacks provides inspiration for novel. By John Townes

Spotty Dog Books & Ale and Fairview Books are freshly stocked with copies of The River’s Never Full. Also, pick up a copy of this month’s Hill Country Observer to read a feature on the book and on the real-life story it’s based on.

Phew! Thanks to all who made it out last night to the Spotty Dog for the book release party. We went through lots of pickled herring and lots of books. A day after the official release of The River's Never Full the first printing is nearly gone. Spotty Dog had ten copies left as of last night; Fairview Books out by the Greenport Walmart has a few copies left; and one will be up for silent auction at Promise Neighborhood's holiday fundraiser this Sunday. If you want a copy before the holidays, pick one up soon from one of those places or order online this week @ Lulu.com (link in comments). Second photo by Germantown Waterfront
