The Red Narratives are about the Red River of the Twenty First Century as seen through my eyes.
When my life is finished, it is my dream, that I will have published five books. I have already introduced you to Treasure River. One down and four to go and River of Dreams is due to be published this year.
My labor of love is the SEEINGRED NARRATIVES which will contain three titles. The first one covers Red River from LakeTexoma to Fulton, Arkansas and is almost complete. There will be one that covers Red River from Fulton, Arkansas to the Mississippi River; and another that covers Red River from its headwaters to the LakeTexoma dam. The first Seeing Red CD of my 16-day, 400-mile trip from Telephone, Texas to Fulton, Arkansas, is available now; but, only from me. It is in e-book form and contains more than twenty five thousand words and 125 color pictures, describing the trip. Read the following excerpts, taken from an introduction and forward to this story; published in North Texas e-News and written by Allen Rich.
Local Man Takes a Trip 50 Years in the Making by Allen Rich, North Texas e-News Editor
For most people, spending half of a month in a canoe meandering 396 miles down Red River from north of Bonham, Texas all the way to Fulton, Arkansas would be enough of an adventure to last them a lifetime. If you are “Wildwood” Dean Price, on the other hand, you would just call it a warm-up. And the alligators, well, they were just another interesting facet of a trip that Dean and his father, Joe L. Price, had planned many years ago. It took a half century to finally pull it off, but no one is going to have to wait fifty years for the next trip.The “boat” is almost as unique as the excursions it is expected to make. Like everything else in the Red River adventure, the motor is deserving of a story itself. Price says the motor worked like a charm on Red River during low-water conditions, and he knows a thing or two about design himself. In addition to being an adventurer and a skilled writer, Wildwood Dean’s bent-wood furniture designs have appeared in Texas Monthly, and even earned him a segment on the Texas Country Reporter.
