Our first publication was the award-winning anthology of well-known poems, Poetry for a Lifetime. A new collection of poems, tales and survival tips for camping has just been released, The Camper's Companion. We released a similar volume for our soldiers and Marines--The Military Companion. And now we have more than 150 books available as downloadable eBooks as well in a collection on a CD - The Camper's Digital Companion.
