BOOKS/WRITING
INLET--Pete Klein, author of the vampire novel, The Dancing Valkyrie, and the hiking guide, Adirondack Hikes in Hamilton County, will be at the Adirondack Reader book store on Friday, Nov. 23, from 2 - 4 p.m. to sign copies of both books.
The Dancing Valkyrie is a vampire story set in the Adirondacks and the Schenectady area. Allbooks Review says of it: "This is an absolute must read if you are a vampire fan."
Adirondack Hikes in Hamilton County is a trail guide to trails in and on the border with Hamilton County. Many of the hikes described were originally published in the Hamilton County News where Klein is a reporter. It is the first published book to confine itself to hiking trails in Hamilton County, and includes much information on DEC campsites and other attractions.

Hiking Book Review
www.allbooksreviews.com www.allbooksreviews.ca
Genre: Non Fiction
Title: Adirondack Hikes in Hamilton County-The Book
Author: Peter Klein
As an avid hiker myself, my bookshelf contains many hiking trail and guide
books. Adirondack Hikes in Hamilton County is a unique addition in that it is more
personal than technical, more descriptive than mundane. I always find that I am bored by
the many maps, geological notes, etc included in many guide-books.
Peter Klein takes readers on a hiking journey, describing the flora and fauna, the
smells, the sounds, the sites and the feel of the area. He makes the trails real to the reader
and definitely convinces the avid hiker or the everyday walker that visiting this area
would be an excellent experience.
The book lists several areas in Hamilton County-Rock Lake Trail, Blue Ledges,
Whortleberry and Big Bad Luck Ponds. Each trail includes location, short history and a
recommendation for the best time of year to visit. The book also contains some excellent
tips and advice for readers before venturing into the woods, very informative for
beginners. Hikers and walkers should pick up a copy of this book if visiting Hamilton
County.
Peter Klein is the author of both non fiction and fiction. He incorporates much of
his flair for description into this book.

Vampire Book Review
ALLBOOKS BOOK REVIEW
www.allbooksreviews.com www.allbooksreviews.ca
Genre: Fantasy / Erotica
Title: The Dancing Valkyrie
Author: Peter Klein
Blood and sex. Of course love, but not the way humans think about it.
This is the recurring theme throughout The Dancing Valkyrie, a story about Mary Hoffman, librarian by day and exotic dancer by night. Mary, needing some time alone takes a hike along a secluded upstate New York trail. She is saved from two predatory young men by Beth, a beautiful woman slightly older than Mary. The two join together for the rest of the trail, becoming romantically involved along the way. Beth, it turns out is a vampire, and quickly introduces Mary to the mystical world she lives in. After inviting Mary back to her castle, built by her brother, Joseph, in a remote area, Mary is seduced into becoming a vampire as well. Joseph and Beth are hundreds of years old, and pose as brother / sister, but are husband and wife, or, in vampire terms, father and daughter. Thus begins the fascinating story of Mary’s transition from human woman to vampire.
This book is full of rich and incredibly descriptive prose that makes you feel you are in every scene. The dialog is both thought provoking and believable (or course we are talking about vampires), with an excellent mix of philosophical, religious and historical references mixed within the real time story. The plot is not complex, as the story is more of a journey than a twisty-turny, keep you in the dark project. It is more than adequate, however, as you quickly become submersed in the protagonist’s discovery process. Klein presents vampires in a light never seen before, and frankly one of the most inventive and most original depictions I’ve ever read.
This is an absolute must read if you are a vampire fan. It should be tempered with the fact that it is an erotic novel. However, the sex is an integral part of the novel’s framework and not only necessary, but adds to the overall richness of the work. A pleasant surprise on the last page was: “TO BE CONTINUED.”
Highly recommended.

A Supreme Court Abortion
So the abortion debate rages on. But what if any of those pillars of morality on the Supreme Court were in a position to look ahead in the following examples? Would they have forced the woman to have an abortion even if she would have screamed, "My son would never do such a thing!"
Would they have forced Mrs. Hitler to have an abortion?
Would they have forced the mother of the young man who carried out the killings at Virgina Tech to have an abortion?
Just a thought and just a reminder that all attempts to look into the future and presume what can't be known are doomed to failure.
And let's bring God into this controversy. Is God the number one abortionist, for what is an abortion but an assisted miscarriage?
