How your support makes a difference.

Are we a dying breed? On the endangered list? We long-form columnists, essayists, authors, freelancers, reporters, journalists, bloggers and self-publishers? Sustaining a lifestyle business takes time and persistence. So thank you for your support. Thank you. Thank you.

Here’s what’s in it for you.

Progress updates. Advanced preview copies. Chapters not included in my books. Second edition updates. Access to like-minded people. Get the inside story. Find out what it’s really like to visit, fall in love with and live like the locals in the highest qualify-of-life, authentic towns and premier resort communities. And, with your kind and generous support I will be able to expand and concentrate on producing my future book series in Volumes Two and Three. Which means opportunities for you to submit story ideas and receive acknowledgement for them. You’ll receive my newsletter about upcoming itineraries, travel guides and bonus reports, because "There's nothing quite as all-American as a road trip, especially in the West, where a wealth of culture, natural beauty and excitement unfolds before you.”

Make a dream come true.

And maybe, just maybe together we’ll be able fund a life-long dream, The Center for Knowledge Creation and Innovation.

What is it exactly that I do?

I devote six and a half days a week to producing these labors of love, beginning each morning at 5:30 am. I subscribe to media so you don’t have to, to curate quirky story headlines and highlights From the Desert to the Mountains to the Sea and all the Pristine Rivers, Lakes and Islands in Between.

Operating expenses to sustain a creative lifestyle.

I need to cover the travel budget for Western Skies and Island Currents and Best West Road Trips. I deposit those stories and related research into a knowledge bank service I lease. It’s where I withdraw interest-bearing background context for my blogs published across my six websites. Each website incurs registration and hosting fees. Thank you for your support.
