Poor Russell Dean, golden boy of American advertising. His meticulously crafted career has brought him wealth, fame, an idyllic lifestyle and a beautiful wife. But now his wife is divorcing him, he's surrounded by fools and Russell is in a tailspin. A golf vacation to a remote Ontario resort town is exactly what he needs to skate through a rare rough patch. Or not. Mysterious natural forces far beyond his control and the eclectic characters he meets -- including three skilled, powerful women and a mirthful Ojibwe fishing guide -- have decidedly different plans. Welcome to the Canadian wilderness, Mr. Dean. Welcome to Kamini: Danger, Suspense, Mysticism, Romance and Live Bait.

A native Minnesotan, Don Engebretson began writing about his passion--gardening--after college and soon was writing for magazines across the US. He has won five national writing awards from Garden Communicators International. Always a fiction fan, he began writing short stories and ultimately sat down to write Welcome to Kamini, his debut novel. Don joyfully acknowledges that summers spent at the family cottage in Minaki, Ontario had the greatest impact on his upbeat personality and positive outlook on life.
