In feature stories and his \u003ci\u003eField \u0026amp; Stream\u003c\/i\u003e column \"A Sportsman's Life,\" as well as other publications, he has taken readers across the country and beyond to experience his triumphs and failures as a suburban dad who happens to love hunting and fishing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShould the Tent Be Burning Like That?\u003c\/i\u003e gathers together a wide range of Heavey's best work. He nearly drowns attempting to fish the pond inside the cloverleaf off an Interstate Highway four miles from the White House. He rents and crashes a forty-four-foot houseboat on a river in Florida. On a manic weeklong deer archery hunt in Ohio, he finds it necessary to practice by shooting arrows into his motel room's phonebook (the blunt penetrates all the way to page 358, \"KITCHEN CABINET--REFACING \u0026amp; REFINISHING\"). Accompanying a shaggy steelhead fanatic--Mikey, who has no job or fixed address but owns four boats--on a thousand-mile odyssey up and down the California coast in search of fishable water, he comes to see Mikey as a purer soul than almost anyone he has ever met.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhatever the subject, Heavey's tales are odes to the notion that enthusiasm is more important than skill, and a testament to the enduring power of the natural world. Whether he's hunting mule deer in Montana, draining cash on an overpriced pistol, or ruminating on the joys and agonies of outdoor gear, Heavey always entertains and enlightens with honesty and wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill Heavey\u003c\/b\u003e is an editor-at-large for \u003ci\u003eField \u0026amp; Stream\u003c\/i\u003e and the author of three previous books: \u003ci\u003eYou're Not Lost if You Can Still See the Truck\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eIf you Didn't Bring Jerky, What Did I Just Eat?\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eIt's Only Slow Food Until You Try to Eat It\u003c\/i\u003e.
