Tales of Turtle River is a collection of stories about the adventures and misadventures of a boy named Fritz in a 1920’s seaside town inspired by Jupiter, Florida-a place many have called paradise.As it rose into the sky, there came a shrieking from high above. The osprey dropped the fish, and a magnificent eagle swept down, retrieved it and carried it into the tall pines.The old man remembers the drama of the osprey and the eagle played out many times, long before luxury mansions began to grace the river banks. When there was only one school in the town, when pine forests and mangrove swamps stood where houses now sit, there were owls, foxes, and wildcats, and swarms of mosquitoes so thick you could cut them with a stick.Step back into time and follow Fritz when he carries his pet rooster across town on the handlebars of his bicycle. Follow him into the wilderness that surrounds his home, and into the supernatural, and into the hearts and lives of the people of the town.
