I'm sharing this information as an inspiration to those who write stories and articles set in the Ozark Mountains.

When I opened Google recently I discovered my Mark Twain Style Ozark Mountains Fishing Stories series had been adopted by Shimano and many of their fishing tackle dealers. How this came about i have no idea as i did not submit anything to the company. Here are a couple of listing on websites that are typical of many, i even discovered a dealer in the UK that will only sell my stories to British citizens, tax reasons i guess?

Being a writer and a fisherman I was delighted with my discovery as Shimano is the world leader in high-precision fishing equipment and it was nice to get the exposure. http://www.shimanoreels.org/the-history-of-shimano-reels

As i said, hopefully this might serve as an inspiration to writers of Ozark material that lurking over the next blue hazed ridge or at the bottom of a deep holler is a fishing, camping or outdoors company who wants to pick your stuff up and expose you to the world.

That's pretty cool. Right now I am in the beginning stages of trying to start to become a published outdoor writer...But it's hard to find publications for what I do. The kind of writing I really enjoy is outdoor prose, more the philosophy of it than the how-to stuff, and in the grand scheme of things there isn't much market for that.

But I will keep on trying, and in any case, I just enjoy writing for its own sake more than anything else (except fishing.) If I never make a penny on any of my writings it still won't be a waste.
