Roger Brucker's newest book, GRAND, GLOOMY, AND PECULIAR: STEPHEN BISHOP AT MAMMOTH CAVE, is scheduled to be released by Cave Books on October 1, 2009. It will be Roger's fifth book, and his first novel. It is based on the story of Stephen Bishop, the slave who became famous for guiding tourists in Mammoth Cave in the 1840s and 50s, and was responsible for many early discoveries. I have read an advance copy, and it's terrific. Combining history, adventure and romance, it is stylistically unlike anything Roger has written before, and will surprise many of his fans.
