Dear Friends,

    I want to thank each and every one of you for visiting my site and for your interest in my writing and presentations.  I am so fortunate to be able to share my words and thoughts with you all.
    Please check in often, as I am always updating this site with new information about book signings, presentations, and classes.  You can get information on my most recently published book Ghosts of Central Jersey and well as A Bit of Earth and Life on the Shoulder: Rediscovery and Inspiration along the Lewis and Clark Trail.
    You may also obtain descriptions and share feedback about my five presentations, and obtain updates on any new projects on which I am working, including a more spiritual book about how we can find inspiration in the environment.

                                                                                                    Cheers!

                                                                                                    Gordon
