I don’t know what brings you here, but you’re here, so here’s what I have to say:
I’ve written three books—all of which have been shortlisted for, or won, a Banff Mountain Festival book award. I was also shortlisted in 2024 for Banff’s Best Article award. I don’t know what, if anything, all that means, but it makes me proud, and humbled.
Only one of my books is still in print: Dammed If You Don’t, winner of the 2021 Banff Mountain Fiction Award. If you want a copy, shoot me an email. Officially, they are $25 + $5 shipping. Unofficially, I don’t really care. If you can’t afford that, tell me what you can afford, and I’ll get you a book.
The Cochamó Valley in Chilean Patagonia is the most special place on Earth to me. I have worked hard since 2011 to try and help protect it. If you, too, are trying to protect Cochamó, I encourage you to learn about and donate money to either Friends of Cochamó (which I head up as ED), or Conserva Puchegüín (which is raising money to buy and permanently protect the valley).
Since 2007, I have earned a living writing, ghostwriting, editing, copywriting, et cetera. If you are here because you want help with a writing project, shoot me an email, and I’ll see what I can do.
I think that about sums it up. Thanks for visiting, and have a wonderful day.
