Update: the release of The Brent John Story.
​​
A Secret Hard To Keep is part biography and part 'art book.' It contains 13 full-color maps, descending in scale, with over a hundred clues and markers that express one possible former treasure location, and the true story about myself, an unexpected treasure seeker, swept up by Forrest Fenn himself, and The Thrill of the Chase.
​
A Secret Hard To Keep is The Thrill of the Chase deconstructed. ​​

My story, and solution, correct or incorrect, take the reader on a journey about possibilities. If a reader takes the time to absorb the details of my Maps, the next time they read The Thrill of the Chase, the same details will come forward. They're everywhere.
​
It's as if Fenn wrote the book using details from Google Maps after deciding on the final location, but before leaving it there. And, in the end, we discover why he wanted this location to be "his final resting place."
​
My story is not only a claim as to the precise treasure location, it's a claim to the 'final resting place' wish of Forrest himself.

The first edition of this book will be a full-color, large-scale, premium book from Amazon print-on-demand. While we dread supporting non-philanthropic billionaires, this is the best way to make A Secret Hard To Keep feel nice on the shelf next to The Thrill of the Chase and Too Far To Walk.
​
The book will be delivered to you in the Spring of 2025; I’ve employed a long-time family friend and a professional writer to accomplish all of this. Keep in mind, he writes all of these words down, then I approve them and claim them as my own. He’s my hero here; he's helping me tell my story to you.
​
Don’t expect closure—expect a new set of wonderments.
