What Others are Saying:
“This is a deeply human love story of how, together, Rick and Mary navigate the twists and turns of Rick’s prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment—their curiosity, agility, and openness to adapt resonate with my own caregiving approach. I discovered a soulful and humble flow of life woven within these pages, beautifully in sync with these nature lovers.” Victoria Chin, MBA, founder of Carer Mentor: Empathy & Inspiration (Substack)
“As a physician, I wish I could prescribe this book. Rick Lamplugh’s journey through his treatment of prostate cancer is a masterclass in patient empowerment. With raw honesty, he shares his fears and successes, creating a holistic map for healing that beautifully integrates rigorous research, profound lifestyle changes, and the restorative power of nature. The Wilds of Cancer is a must-read for patients seeking not just to survive, but to thrive.” Keith R. Holden, MD, publisher of Prostate Cancer Secrets (Substack)

My last book, The Wilds of Aging: A Journey of Heart and Mind, takes you on an illuminating journey into the wilds of aging, a passage we all will face if we’re lucky. The book won the National Indie Excellence Award and was a finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book. The book is also a prequel to my previous two books.
Deep into Yellowstone: A Year’s Immersion in Grandeur & Controversy is a sequel to my first book. It won a Gold Medal in the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY Awards). It was a finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards and in the National Indie Excellence Awards.
My first Yellowstone book, In the Temple of Wolves: A Winter’s Immersion in Wild Yellowstone, was a Montaigne Medal Finalist and won 2nd place in the Readers Views Literary Awards.
Rick’s stories have appeared in Yellowstone Reports, and the literary journals Composite Arts Magazine, Gold Man Review, Phoebe, Soundings Review, and Feathered Flounder. He won the Jim Stone Grand Prize for Non-Fiction.
