Talkeetna Good Time reflects author Dennis Brown's journals written during his family's time living in northern Alaska

ESTES PARK, Colo. (MMD Newswire) April 16, 2009 -- Talkeetna Good Time by author Dennis Brown tells of his family's real-life adventures and survival stories from the 1970s to the early 1990s while living in the small town of Talkeetna, located in the northern Alaskan wilderness. "Alaska is like a disease," says Brown. "If you go there, you may catch it. If you catch it, you will never recover."

From the "larger than life" characters to the both comical and heartwarming chapters, Brown says not only were his journals kept for his memoir but they were the catalyst for the TV series, "Northern Exposure." "Of the eight main characters in the early popular TV show, only Chris, the radio broadcaster, is fictional," he says. "The other characters, such as Adam, were based on real people who lived in Talkeetna at the time."

As documented in his memoir, extreme weather and terrain accounts, animal tales and life-threatening situations were the heart and soul of the Browns' experience in Alaska for 25 years. "All the recounts, however, relate a common thread," says Brown. "Life is what you make of it - both beautiful and tough. If we remain humble and compassionate, together we'll all do just fine."
