A blip of prosperity at the turn of the 20th century brought American trout to Patagonia, then for a half-century they were forgotten to fight wars and build a nation. Rediscovered by fishermen a half-century later, the fish had grown to epic proportions. In Chasing Rumor, Cameron Chambers chronicles his modern-day pilgrimage to the rivers of Patagonia in pursuit of these legendary 20-pound trout. What started as a trip focused on catching fish became a love affair with the Patagonian landscape, environment, and, mostly, the people. From a business mogul turned B&B owner to a kid determined to save a local trout population, Chasing Rumor is at times the story of a handful of fishermen, and at other times a tale of enormous trout.

Christopher Devin, in the mainstream novel Don't Cross the Devil, is characteristically a moody man in his late forties, and a well-to-do artist of local repute in his hometown of Orlando, Florida. As an artist, he captures popular and realistic scenes relating to art and life in oils. He is also an anonymous benefactor to the needy and enjoys the reputation among the ladies of an accomplished lover; he holds, however, a less widely known and more dubious status-Chris is the son of Satan.
