A Writer's Life in Four Simple Bullets ------------------------------------------- * I have lived with my wife through her recurrent cancer, and have shared with her the joy — post cancer — of walking 3,000 miles along the Continental Divide. * I express myself best in writing, though friends will tell you that I am hard to shut up. * I have special love of a special place, Montana. * I have never experienced writer's block.
Writing Books that Matter ------------------------------- I am a reader, as well as a writer. I have a limited time each day, indeed in life, and I want the things I read to matter. Likewise, I want what I write to matter, to have a reason for being, to engage the reader. I believe that a good story, crafted well, has the power to change the world. I have published a number of popular press books, as described in this website. Each of my books, in its own way, presents a topic I found critically important at the time I wrote it...and still do. The books and their reason for being follow:
* Bat Cave: A Fable of Epidemic Proportions (Critter Chronicles, #2) — epidemic disease, societal decision making, and immigration
* Fish Tank: A Fable for Our Times (Critter Chronicles, #1)— natural resources, societal decision making, and climate change
* Crossing Divides: A Couples' Story of Cancer, Hope, and Hiking Montana's Continental Divide — health, nature, wilderness, healing from cancer
* Good Camel, Good Life: Finding Enlightenment One Drop of Sweat at a Time — health, yoga, spirituality, philosophy
* TrumpelStiltskin: A Fairy Tale — the election of our 45th president, as seen through a re-imagined fairy tale
* Two Wheels Around New Zealand: A Bicycle Journey on Friendly Roads — travel, adventure, escape, wilderness _______
