Harnessed to the Pole

Sledge Dogs in Service to American Explorers of the Arctic 1853-1909

By: Sheila Nickerson

In the second half of the nineteenth century, an epic race was underway in some of the most brutal stretches on the planet. Explorers from around the world hoped to stake their claim on the Arctic, with the North Pole being the ultimate prize. Those with the greatest success found that the fastest way to travel was on four legs—using a team of hardworking sledge dogs. Harnessed to the Pole follows the adventures of eight American explorers and their dog teams, starting with Elisha Kent Kane and ending with Robert Peary, controversial claimant of the title of first to reach the North Pole. While history has long forgotten these “little camels of the north,” Sheila Nickerson reveals how critical dogs were to the Arctic conquest. Besides providing transportation in extreme conditions, sledge dogs protected against wolves and polar bears, helped in hunting, found their way through storms, and provided warmth in extreme cold. They also faced rough handling, starvation, and the possibility of being left behind as expeditions plunged ahead. Harnessed to the Pole is an extraordinary—and unflinching—look at the dogs that raced to the top of the world.

Chocolate Star

By: Sheila Copeland

He played the wrong game. The song of preacher, college basketball star Sean "Sylk" Ross prayed that God would get him in the NBA, until he started playing games of love and power. Then the way to fame was leading him toward a mistake that could send him straight to hell... She never looked back. Lies, drugs, too many men-- golden skinned singer Topaz Black would do anything to get a hit to the top of the charts, even walk away from her friends and family. But surrounded by greed and lust, the love the longed for seemed to be slipping away forever. He broke all the rules. Brought up in South Central L.A., movie producer Gunther Lawrence learned early how to get the wealth and women he wanted-- and to turn his back on his roots. Now, blinded by Hollywood's glitter, his illusions may shatter when he discovers who really controls his career. As their lives touch, ignite, and explode, three talented African-Americans pursue fame at any cost...and the price may be their happiness...or their lives..

Blackbird Flying

By: Sheila Nickerson

Sheila Nickerson's latest work, Blackbird Flying, defies categories. Grounded in the surprising details of family memoir, it expands to an exploration of mystery, "where solid is not solid and the shore is never certain," and lament unfurls to celebration. Sheila has published widely in poetry and creative non-fiction. She spent twenty-seven years in Juneau, Alaska, where she served as Poet Laureate and taught creative writing in public schools, universities, and prisons. Now a resident of Bellingham, Washington, she recalls the migratory winters she has spent on the coast of South Carolina.
