After I wrote NeanderThin, I went hunting every day for ten years( if Falconry is indeed hunting and not merely a specialized form of bird watching).  During those halcion days I didn't punch a clock or fill out forms. I fed my family and animals from Nature, studied philosophy,played music and made love.

Life doesn't get much more noble than that!  Now, if I could just finish my next book......
