Goodreads asked Gary Ferguson:

What are you currently working on?

Gary Ferguson Thanks for writing . . . I'm so glad to hear you've been enjoying my work. You're spot on: my urge to combine my environmental science training with writing happened while I was in college. At the time I also had a strong desire to, whenever possible, experience nature "first hand." It's one thing to learn about biology or ecology in the classroom; it's quite another to then take that knowledge to places where you can not only see it with your own eyes, but where the full beauty and mystery of a natural system is laid out before you. (As Einstein once said, the mysterious "is the source of all true art and science.")
I've just finished a book on wildfire, which will be out next spring, and now am settling in to a much bigger project about how we humans might grow our ability to embrace a more sustainable future.
