Author's Bio

Author Yoga Song, Rochak Press, India, 2022

Author Yoga Song, Lantern Audiobook, 2023

Traveler, writer, motorcycling yogi with a philosophy problem. Prefer to find out-of-the-way places, where shape shifters and that which is NOT TRENDING animate my curiosity. Writing subjects: yoga, motorcycling, music, travel, psychology/spirituality. Occasionally smoke a cigar, & like to wear cool hats. Have a cabin in the north woods of Wisconsin. There, I hunt memories.
