A #TreeHugger, #OldConservationist and #Animist I enjoy #writing as well as being out in #Nature, #Gaia. #RustyPress is not about selling but sharing my #NovelsNovella and #Essays.
I just posted a short story on Rusty Press. www.rustypress.com/essays/f/sabastian-and-emma-a-short-story It is a non-political story about an important subject I haven’t addressed in several years. Some of you, I’m sure, will know almost immediately. I hope you enjoy it.

I have been a member of the Sierra Club ( #SierraClub ) for a long time and I must say that their magazine, #Sierra, is always outstanding. If you love #Gaia ( #MotherNature ) you really need to be a member of the Sierra Club. #RustyPress #Environment #ProtectMotherEarth
