Produktinformationen zu „Dangerous Slopes (ePub)“
Snowboarding should be fun, especially when you're riding at Colorado's newest ski resort. Elks Run is located in beautiful Summit County. With its aspens, colorful wildflowers, and very tall mountains, it takes your breath away, or, if you aren't careful, your life.
Dangerous Slopes is a story that underlines a conflict when society chooses pride and greed are chosen over safety and honesty. The result will most likely be a physical, financial, and psychological loss.
Michael Doyle works as a computer consultant and part-time ski/snowboard instructor at Elks Run ski resort. He is struggling with being newly divorced. While women are easy to meet at the resort, he has a dilemma. He still has feelings for his ex-wife.
Mike and Stanley, his trusted basset hound, unravel an unfortunate accident-or was it sabotage by environmentalists as the FBI suspects-on the resort's newest gondola lift.
His friends are helpful, but he is on his own. He readily admits that he isn't Sherlock Holmes; however, with a little luck, anything is possible.

Autoren-Porträt von Kenneth Janiec
I work for Oracle Corporation as a principal technical support engineer. I and my wife, Judi, live in Colorado Springs, CO with our two basset hounds, Zoë and Dexter, and Zeke, an American black-and-tan coonhound. I am an avid skier and outdoor enthusiast and a former PSIA-certified ski/snowboard instructor at Monarch Mountain and Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado. Dangerous Slopes is my first novel.
I learned to ski in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. For a number of years, I worked part-time as a ski patroller in Pennsylvania. Moving to Colorado 20 year ago, I became a snowboard and skiing instructor at two well-known resorts. I thought would it be interesting to write a story about Colorado ski resorts and the environmental issues facing all resorts in the west. I wanted to highlight what it takes to be a instructor and how much fun it is to teach this great sport. In addition, I have worked with computers for most of my career and wanted to weave that aspect into this story.
"A former ski and snowboard instructor, Kenneth Janiec again aims his attention at the slopes for his first novel.
Janiec sets Dangerous Slopes in the fictional ski town of Elks Run, Colo. His protagonist is Mike Doyle, fresh from signing his divorce papers and determined to make a go of it teaching skiing and snowboarding while also running his own computer consulting company; in addition to hiring Doyle as an instructor, the resort owner contracts with him to maintain the ski area’s computers. When the resort’s newly installed gondola comes crashing down at the apparent hands of a saboteur, Doyle and his basset hound, Stanley, find themselves in the middle of a whodunit.
Janiec has the basics of fiction writing down: There’s a solid plot, a fairly plausible crisis and an ultimate resolution. As a technical support engineer with Oracle and the owner of two basset hounds, Janiec clearly writes about what he knows..." - BlueInk Review
