Deep in the peaceful, Smoky Mountains of North Georgia, a huge black bear kills a child in a campground and the hunt begins. Wade, an outdoors-man and backwoods columnist, is quickly deputized to find and slay the massive beast terrorizing tourists and locals alike.
A giant Cherokee, wannabe-writer whose gifts are enhanced by mushroom trances and a Minnesota Vikings horn-helmet, offers to help and proves a modern Sasquatch when he tracks the mythic, killer bear Ol' Nathan.
But that is the least of the small town’s worries.
In their pursuit, they encounter a cannabis compound, an authentic Appalachian psychopath, an albino savant called White Willie and rumors of buried Yankee gold surface turning the quiet hamlet into a cauldron of death and fear.

            Wally Avett is a semi-retired Realtor in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.  He lives in the same little town, sometimes compared to Mayberry, where he was editor and chief writer all though the 70’s for the weekly newspaper.

            “My father was a preacher,” he says.  “And I grew up with good storytellers all around me, both friends and family.” He met many colorful characters over the years and they inspire and infuse his writing today.

            “For me, good writing has to be based on truth.  I write like an Appalachian granny makes quilts, producing fiction that is actually fashioned from bits and pieces of raw truth.”

            Some of the truth, of course, comes from actual experiences.  “My bear-hunting friends are appalled that I can actually write and my literary friends are shocked that I sometimes hunt bears.”

            Readers interested in Southern, mystery and thriller books should enjoy Last Bigfoot in Dixie and Murder in Caney Fork.  Names and places have been altered adequately to avoid litigation. His other two novels based on true stories, Rebel Bushwacker and Coosa Flyer, are available for acquisition.

            Wally is an avid reader and a gardener, a Sunday School teacher and bluegrass gospel singer, hunter, fisherman and reluctant handyman.  He likes history, sometimes sells mountain cabins to retirees fleeing the heat of flatland Florida and frequently tells funny stories.
