Here are twelve new stories from one of the most captivating voices in contemporary outdoor literature. Fed by the fertile springs of love and sport, Lost in Wyoming treats readers to a rare taste in literary fiction, the bittersweet pleasures of relationships afield. Men and women, fathers and sons, siblings separated by life’s unfathomable tides—the characters in these stories share in the heartfelt tug of war—some funny, some sad—immediately recognizable in all of our lives.

Humor, heartache, and surprise return in equal measure as staples of Sadil’s fiction. His writing moves with the energy of a wild fish cartwheeling at the end of a fly line. Yet even readers who have never cast a fly will see themselves reflected in these lucid tales. In Lost in Wyoming, Sadil lays claim to a unique spot in contemporary literature: whether near river or surf or stream, passions of the heart bring the waters of these stories to a rolling boil.
