"A serene, deeply affectionate narrative.  Here is an elder, with his mature sensibilities, finding a place he needs to find, and then putting body and spirit into making it just right for himself and his artistic mate.  And Ms. Wolcott's rich, guileless landscape paintings suggest that the pair see alike."

James Alexander Thorn, Author of Follow the River and other award-winning historical novels.

Daly Walker latest book is Little Creek: Finding Elemental Life In Brown County. The book is beautifully illustrated by the paintings of Toni Wolcott.

Daly is also the author of Surgeon Stories, a highly reviewed collection of short stories.

Daly’s work has been short listed for Best American Short Stories and an O’Henry Award and was a finalist in The Best American Magazine Writing.

A retired surgeon, he divides his time between Bean Blossom, Indiana, and Boca Grande, Florida.

"This is among the best collections of

stories I’ve encountered over the last decade
or so—  fiercely dramatic, immaculately
composed, and so moving that even the most
hardened heart must tremble.   Treat yourself
to the great beauty of Surgeon Stories."

— Tim O’Brien, winner of the National Book Award, author of The Things They Carried and July, July
