I have always been drawn to the natural world. I have sought out that world throughout my life in recreation experiences and volunteer work, and incorporated nature into therapy sessions I provided for almost forty years in mental health and addiction treatment.
My interests in writing and human history evolved parallel to my professional recreation therapy work, and my first two books came in the later part of that career.
The places in the natural world I have documented have rich human histories that required deeper study. The communication skills I developed in my therapy career were most useful as I entered the world of oral history.
Retirement has allowed me even deeper study and research in writing projects. Ongoing learning, exploration, discovery, and writing will be important pursuits going forward.
