Fishwest Author Secures A Book Deal

Just a quick note to say congratulations to Marc Payne.  He just secured his first book contract.  It will be a comprehensive look at fishing in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  The book is slated for release in 2014.

Marc credits Fishwest as his first “writing gig” and we couldn’t be happier for him and his achievement.

Congrats again to Marc and we are looking forward to seeing the new book!
