Tentatively called Wilderness Dreams, Boudreau's fourth title due this fall will be about Hap and Clara Bowden who homesteaded and guided in the area east of Quesnel. It encompasses a rectangular area between Quesnel, Barkerville, Likely and Alexandria. "Hap has many memories from his logging days on the coast,"; Boudreau recalls. "Such as the time he got into a fight at a dance. As they fell to the ground together, this gentleman must have believed he was Mike Tyson because he sank his teeth into Hap's cheek. They wrestled around a bit until Hap got free, only to have the fellow bite him again in a different spot. Desperately Hap searched for a way out, and suddenly his hand touched what turned out to be a full bottle of beer in the man's pocket. With all his strength Hap struck the man across the head with the bottle, then felt him relax. Unconscious, he was taken to the hospital where he recovered. Hap re-entered the hall where his boss said, 'The son of a bitch bit you. He got what was coming to him.' And the incident was never mentioned again.";
