Welcome |
Hello and thanks for stopping by. I hope you will take this opportunity to purchase my new novel, Gift of the Grenadier. It's a powerful story that explores the devastating impacts of a war injury as they ripple through the family and friends of the book's protagonist. The characters are fictional but the trials they face, the terrible decisions they must make and the life-altering results are very real indeed. Every choice comes with a cost and in the end, each of us, fictional and real, must evaluate our past actions and balance them with our own need of redemption. My two previous books, A Chukar Hunter's Companion and Corvallis Reflections, are also available on this website. I appreciate your interest. Please share your thoughts and appraisals of my books with your friends and with me, if you like, by selecting the mail button below. |

Corvallis Reflections is, at its heart, a celebration of a community and its people. But Wray's reflective lens looks forward also, and into the deepest realms of human nature. His ever-present good humor masks a willingness to explore, satirize and when necessary confront, people, organizations and ideas he considers inimical to the best interests of his beloved Corvallis, Oregon.

A Chukar Hunter's Companion lives up to its name. It's a companion you can count on for accurate information and fun. It's a friend who'll help get you ready for a successful hunting trip, then go along to help you enjoy it. At its core, Companion is a how-to book. It explores the entire process, from physical conditioning through the gear you'll need, and then the hunt itself. The hunt section is a comprehensive look at the entire process, from deciding on a location to caring for your birds. Companion also includes an exceptional section on dogs, including a chapter on hunting without dogs, a state-by-state hunting summary and a fine chapter of chukar recipes. Companion is much more than a simple how-to book. Pat Wray is a storyteller of the first order and his essays are alternately hilarious, heartwarming, thought provoking and deeply troubling. Readers will find themselves learning a great deal about chukar hunting and much, much more. Wray's stories, essays and his uniquely humorous perspective on chukar hunting and life (which are not much different in his mind) raise A Chukar Hunter's Companion far above the normal hunting book fare. Pat Wray has the heart of a hunter, the gift of a writer and an unerring sense of story. His ever-present humor sparkles throughout the text. This is not just a hunter's book; it is a reader's pleasure. Click here to purchase A Chukar Hunter's Companion online. You may also order it by sending $21.95 plus $5 shipping and handling to Outdoor Insights, P.O. Box 513, Corvallis, OR 97339-0513. |
