Sun Oaks Book Signing

Badges, Bears, and Eagles--The True-Life Adventures of a California Fish and Game WardenWe had a fantastic book signing yesterday at Redding’s Sun Oaks Tennis and Fitness.   Thanks so much to Julie, Lisa, and the wonderful Sun Oaks staff who hosted our event.  Kathy and I were amazed at the number of people who showed up, some to buy books and others to have their already-purchased copies signed.  We sold out in a little over two hours and had a great time.   Thanks so much to everyone who came.

Our next public book signing is scheduled for April 26th, at the Redding Costco (10:00 AM to 4:00 PM).   Hope to see you there!  For those of you from out of the area, you can order Badges, Bears, and Eagles online from Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Smashwords, and Walmart.  You can also have your local bookstore order a copy for you.

Exotic animals are featured in the chapter "Metro Wardens" in Steven T. Callan's memoir, Badges, Bears, and Eagles--The True-Life Adventures of a California Fish and Game Warden.Tom Stienstra, columnist and outdoor writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, has writen about Badges, Bears, and Eagles in today’s (3/11/13) issue of the San Francisco Chronicle.   He refers to Chapter 7, “Metro Wardens,”  where I describe some of the many big cat and exotic animal incidents that occurred in Southern California during the 1970s and early 1980s.   At that time, there were believed to be as many captive African lions in the LA Basin as there were wild lions in Africa.  Read the story at SFGate.

Tribute to the Giant Sea Bass

My friend Sergio Fainsztein recently posted an underwater photograph of a giant sea bass off La Jolla Cove, San Diego, on his Facebook page. The photograph reminded me of an incident that happened in 1958, when I was ten years old. We were on the beach at Casa Cove, a short distance from where the photo Fainsztein shared was taken.
