PLANO, Texas, June 17, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- A distraught man with a dark past longs to end it all. However, a mystical revelation stays his hand at the moment of no return, launching him on a supernatural quest in the new novel, Trapper: A Mystical Man (now available through 1stBooks), by Vincent M. Gunderson.
Gunderson offers hope and comfort for those suffering from life's afflictions with his new book focusing on Robert Ericsson, who lives in the sparsely populated north Wisconsin area during the 1970s. Robert has reached what he feels is the end of the road, his hope drained, his life in shambles. With a dark childhood history scarred by abuse, he longs to choose his own destiny and end his life. Thinking this is his only option, Robert prepares for the end.
With the gun poised and ready, an unexplained phenomenon occurs, keeping him from pulling the trigger. A mystical man, almost apparition-like, seemed the source of the phenomenon. The man, a Native American, known as Waubatoa Littletree, or Trapper, rises from the depths of despair to guide Robert on a triumphal journey through the spirit world as the young man looks to heal his ills and find spiritual and psychological freedom.
Inspiring, entertaining and mystifying, Trapper is a novel of hope and perseverance against the trials of life's afflictions.
Gunderson is one of eight children born and raised by his family in northern Wisconsin. He and his wife of 22 years now live in Plano, Texas and have five adopted children. Trapper is Gunderson's first novel, one of several planned in a series. The second book, Alter Boy, is nearing completion.
