{"product_id":"9781465323415","title":"Sinks Canyon Mystery","description":"This simple little adventure tale was originally written as a “juvenile novel” in 1964 while I was a teacher in Lander, Wyoming. It didn’t impress publishers, so I put it aside and later moved to Colorado and stored the manuscript in the attic and lost track of it.   Decades passed, but I persistently thought of rewriting my book, not to sell, necessarily, but for my own gratification, and I pondered how it could be better. I found the manuscript in early 2007, read it one more time and immediately set to work. The result was a complete revision, a total re-write other than the title, the locale and the basic plot. Because I was no longer hampered by trying to satisfy an editor or agent, I developed a style which frequently matches the way I really think and talk. (Some people who know me are thinking, Yeah, right: disorganized, repetitive, foolish, irreverent, cliché-ridden, etc., etc.) Anyway, I was satisfied with the result. If you can read through the whole thing without losing interest or throwing up, then I feel that I have achieved my goal of becoming a bona fide novelist.","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183875113200,"sku":"9781465323415","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781465323415_p0.jpg?v=1763683379","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781465323415","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
