Running From Ghosts<\/h3>

A true-life account of youth, skiing, ambition, fear, and self-discovery in the mountains of Alaska and beyond.<\/p>

Running From Ghosts<\/em> is about a young man chasing speed, meaning, identity, and something just beyond reach. Set against the immense snowfields, resorts, backcountry routes, and personal turning points of a life shaped by mountain culture, the book moves with the force of a journal, memoir, confession, and wilderness meditation all at once.<\/p>

It is raw, searching, and unguarded. It is about the ghosts people run from, the ones they create, and the ones that wait patiently until the body finally slows down.<\/p>

Best For Readers Who Enjoy<\/h3>

Mountain memoirs, ski culture, Alaska adventure, coming-of-age stories, raw personal writing, outdoor risk, and reflective nonfiction with a sharp edge.<\/p>

Secrets of Alaska (and other places)<\/h3>

An adventurous, reflective collection of stories about Alaska, British Columbia, family, work, mountain sports, danger, and the strange wisdom earned through hard living.<\/p>

In Secrets of Alaska (and other places)<\/em>, JC Young widens the lens. The book moves through fishing, skiing, biking, chainsaws, house-building, trail work, fatherhood, wilderness labor, and the long pull of Alaska on a life that keeps trying to settle elsewhere.<\/p>

It is funny, sharp, intense, and unexpectedly tender. Beneath every wild episode is a deeper question: what makes a person stay, leave, return, risk, build, remember, and keep going?<\/p>

Best For Readers Who Enjoy<\/h3>

Adventure essays, Alaska stories, outdoor memoirs, family-centered nonfiction, wilderness work, mountain biking, skiing, fishing, blue-collar survival, and honest storytelling with grit and humor.<\/p>

StarLight over David<\/h3>

A dark, mythic, supernatural adventure set against the cold beauty and danger of Alaska.<\/p>

With StarLight over David<\/em>, JC Young turns his mountain-born imagination toward fiction. The result is a strange and gripping story where Alaska\u2019s wilderness becomes the stage for old forces, haunted histories, spiritual danger, and one man\u2019s confrontation with fear, power, and the unknown.<\/p>

The book blends adventure, horror, myth, historical echoes, and survival storytelling into a world that feels both vast and claustrophobic. Under the stars, in the snow, and in the silence between human beings and whatever watches from beyond, Young builds a story that refuses to behave like ordinary fiction.<\/p>

Best For Readers Who Enjoy<\/h3>

Supernatural thrillers, Alaska fiction, dark adventure, mythic horror, wilderness suspense, historical echoes, spiritual danger, and stories where the landscape feels alive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
