I am extremely proud to say, my new book, HOW TO SURVIVE A BEAR ATTACK, is published today.
A memoir, an investigation, nature writing, plus a dash of fiction, it's a blend because I started writing with a question -- if I'm attacked by a bear, will I survive?

The chicken!
I mostly like that no one in it is acting charming. They are all just walking around being traumatized, obsessive or coldly narcissistic, climbing in and out of houses, devouring chickens, sneering, scoffing and grieving

Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local
