25 years in the making, Queenie – The Legend of Lake Istokpoga is the incredible story of a largemouth bass in Lake Istokpoga, Florida from the time she is born to the ripe old age of 18. Throughout those years she faces adversity and challenges at every turn. Many local bass anglers are included in the story, (first names only) as they too become adversaries of this elusive bass. This is Don Norton’s first attempt at writing fiction and will soon be followed by a prequel book entitled The Old Man. The front cover was courtesy of Jim Reed, a resident of Lake Placid, Florida and past president of Friends of Istokpoga.
