Book cover for The Good Rain: Across Time & Terrain in the Pacific Northwest (Vintage Departures)
The regional icons—salmon and trees and mountains and water—spring from the elements. If people here become too far removed from those basic sources of life, then they lose the bond to a better world.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“Then Belmont discovered the carnival world of Louisiana politics, in the way a mental patient might wander into a theme park for the insane and realize that life held more promise than he had ever dreamed.

Burke, James Lee. Purple Cane Road (Dave Robicheaux Book 11)”

Kevin Ansbro
“Life is capricious; one moment you're high on a mountain peak with flag in hand, the next you're clinging to an icy ledge by your fingertips.”
Kevin Ansbro

Winston S. Churchill
“If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle, or as it were, fondle them – peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that if you do not know what is in them, you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends; let them at any rate be your acquaintances. If they cannot enter the circle of your life, do not deny them at least a nod of recognition.”
Winston S. Churchill

Bryan Stevenson
“Fear and anger are a threat to justice. They can infect a community, a state, or a nation, and make us blind, irrational, and dangerous.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy
