The Duck Hunter Diaries, Book 2

“The Duck Hunter Diaries is about hunting and the pleasures of the outdoors … but it’s really about life, the life of a wandering journalist whose days of bagging ducks is a metaphor for his own struggling existence.”
- Hollis George, editor Writing Tips: From the Pens of Famous Writers.

“Bill Burkett has spent a good portion of his life hunting ducks. And writing about it. His diaries will make you feel like you’re out there on the water with him.”
- Shirrel Rhoades, former associate publisher, Harper’s Magazine

William R. Burkett, Jr. published his first novel at 18. His first job was as a copy boy for the Florida Times-Union and Jacksonville Journal, but that soon gave way to a position as feature writer. After a tour of duty as an MP in Germany, he resumed his journalistic career. Working in both the States and the Bahamas, he pursued a particular muse - duck hunting. That led to writing for hunting magazines and doing PR for the Washington State Highway Patrol and settlement in the Pacific Northwest where the ducks were plentiful and the fishing was good.
