Stories of the inheritance of place.
I’m a Montana‑born writer whose work grows out of the landscapes that shaped me. I write Cyber‑Zen‑Epicurean aphorisms for my Substack every day. I’ve published seven books and many magazine articles on Montana and Yellowstone history. I’m seeking an agent for my memoir and working on a novel inspired by my family’s story. These days I write from a desk in Darien, Illinois, carrying Montana with me in every sentence.

Current Project
I’m seeking an agent for my memoir about growing up on a ranch and coming of age in the turbulent sixties at the University of Montana. I’m also drafting a novel inspired by my family’s history — a work that explores legacy, land, and the long arc of Montana memory.
Thanks for reading. I’m always working on something new, and I appreciate your company along the way.
