A lot of my nonfiction is very strong environmental stories - I was the first guy to write about the dolphin killings in Japan.

I remember the cover of this one L'Amour book showed a guy on horseback, leading a pack horse across a creek in the snow. Something about that cover - all I wanted to do was drift the high lonesome on horseback.

I write a thousand words a day, and I always stop in the middle of a scene or thought, and it makes it easy to pick up on the next day.

All writing affects change, whether personal, professional, spiritual, or practical.

I read a lot of nonfiction - especially books about the brain.

I had to make a living, so I got happily diverted into writing about expeditions and adventures.
