Blog Tour Stop Number Five: THE DM ZONE
Interview on The DM Zone shares the tale of his family and growing up in Alaska, the beautiful 49th State
My website, not linked to this blog, is where I post videos of The DM Zone. On the Internet TV show, I get to interview creative and talented folks from all different genres and walks-of-life. I have interviewed politicians, musicians, artists, actors and yes … authors. Today as part of Roger’s Seiler Blog Tour for MASTER OF ALASKA, I visited with him at his home in Nyack, New York for the story of how he came to grow up in Alaska.
Watch the video interview. It is an informative, interesting and funny tale of Roger’s youth, his family, flying float planes, and fishing. (Roger Seiler, Above)
Now the author has written a historical novel about Alexander Baranov, the first governor of Alaska who was sent from the Catherine the Great, Czarina of Russia at the time of George Washington. Rather than being a dry history lesson, Seiler has formed an exciting and page-turning tale of the early days of what is now the state of Alaska.
This is the true saga of Alaska’s first and greatest governor, sent to be chief manager for 5 years, but stuck there for 28. He built a northwest Russian empire that stretched to California and Hawaii. And were it not for Baranov, today Alaska would be Canadian instead of America’s 49th state.
