I love old journals...my challenge with my brother's story was what to put in and what to leave out...in truth I have enough material for a couple more books... they may come together someday. I think you will enjoy Harvey's thoughts about his beloved mountain... Your Elsie sounds like my kind of lady. I too am a bit of a recluse ...but thanks to folks like Elaine Stock my work still gets out into the world of readers...she inspires me. Will check out your work...thanks again for the comments!!

Yes my brother was amazing...I believe you will enjoy your journey with The Mountain Man... so far he has made people laugh, cry, and actually change their focus in their own life... One reader wrote.. " "Every time I think about Harvey and his life my spirit leaps with excitement. It is like the voice of one crying in crying in the wilderness. It is a cry to change our thinking, attitude and outlook on life...an invitation to calm the restless soul..." Pat I look forward to hearing from you after you read the book...thanks again!

This one will be about her love of Palomar Mountain and her years of living there on an apple ranch with my mother. Harvey sounds like Elsie in his love of nature and solitude. I like that Wanda specializes in non-fiction. She sounds like me wading through notes & journals Elsie left behind.
