In tales spanning more than five decades, Jim Mize invites readers into carefree days hiking through the Colorado Rockies with a fly rod and leisurely casting poppers to bluegill on small southern ponds. Mize's humorous stories in The Jon Boat Years  (University of South Carolina Press) entertain and return readers to their own turkey-hunting or creek-fishing excursions.

Black-and-white drawings from artist Bob White illustrate stories filled with laughter, quiet contemplation and wonder. Jim writes from his cabin in the South Carolina mountains while his Lab, Moose, keeps the bears at bay.

His previous books include The Winter of Our Discount Tent, A Creek Trickles Through It, Hunting with Beanpole and Fishing with Beanpole. His articles have appeared in Gray’s Sporting Journal, Field & Stream, South Carolina Wildlife, In-Fisherman, Great Days Outdoors and other magazines.

For those who would like an autographed copy, they can order directly from the author through his website, "A Creek Trickles Through It."
