Endorsements:



“The ecological message of your award-winning short story is adamant, alarming and affective. Your word's tell us, undoubtedly, that the human intrusion and aggression of the Earth may reap tragic consequences. Man's way may not be nature's way. Yours is a commendable man versus nature theme.”


“The demise of the mountain, from magnificent but vulnerable to decadent and decaying, through the wiles of the entrepreneur was so sad, so true, and is so pathetically obvious in much of our world.”


“I am impressed with the consistent reverence and out-spoken respect for nature in your writing. Whether in prose or poetry, you are Mother Natures' advocate; her sentry, sentinel, watchman, guard, scout. It is a most noble cause to speak an effective environ-mental message; to give words of dire warning and foreboding from those who cannot speak so that we may redirect our willful and deluded ways while there may still be time.”


—Pat Johnson - B.S. Sociology, M.S. Library Science
