Event Details
The Sedona Heritage Museum will host a book-signing for author Patrick Naville on Saturday, December 8th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Museum.
Naville’s second western novel, “Cripple Creek” is an Amazon Top 100 Best Seller. In this story Mason Proffit inherits a gold mine but is hunted by a disreputable attorney who wants to take possession. Proffit’s old friend ‘Wild Bill’ agrees to ride along with him to make his claim. The two fastest guns in the West run into trouble along the way.
Patrick will also be signing his first book, “Echo Whispers”, recipient of five-star reviews on the Barnes & Noble website. Ever wonder what happened to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? This novel imagines the possibilities of the famous train robbers returning to the U.S. during the ‘modern’ era of the 1920s.
Naville has lived in Arizona for 36 years. He has had a love affair with the old west ever since he was a young boy and watched t.v. western classics like "The Lone Ranger" and "The Roy Rogers Show."
"I love the telling of a good story.” he says. “Whether the reader is a fan of the western genre or not, my goal is to place the reader in the scene and make them feel what my characters are experiencing. They will feel the hot, dusty streets; the smell of the horse's sweat; the desperation that comes with facing an adversary at high noon and knowing that one of them will likely die."
Refreshments will be served. The Sedona Heritage Museum is located at 735 Jordan Road in Uptown Sedona. For more information, call 928-282-7038.

Literature
Slide Rock State Park Trails
0.25 mile trail with a difficulty rating of easy. This paved, level trail is suitable for all visitors and travels through a portion of the historic Pendley Homestead of Slide Rock State Park. Features along the trail include some of the original apple orchards, Pendley Homestead house, tourist cabins, apple packing barn, various farming implements that were used historically in the homestead, a new orchard of semi-dwarf apple trees, and spectacular views of the canyon walls of Oak Creek Canyon.
Slide Rock State Park Trails
This is a 0.3-mile trail with a difficulty rating of moderate. This primitive route along Oak Creek is the main access to the Slide Rock Swim Area. This is extremely popular area features a natural water slide along Oak Creek.
This path begins near the apple packing barn. It descends to the creek via steps where it then crosses the creek via a small footbridge. During periods of high runoff, the footbridge will not be in place and visitors will need to stay on the west side of the creek. After crossing the footbridge, proceed north along the sandstone shelves. In the summer months, many sunbathers will be using some of this route for sunbathing, therefore, you may have to step over quite a few of them. As you proceed, you may notice a historic rock cabin on the west side of the creek. The original homesteader used this in conjunction with a flume and water wheel to generate electricity for the homestead. You will arrive at an eight-foot wall that can be your turn-around point. If you decide to negotiate the wall, you can explore the remote areas upstream where the route becomes more primitive.
