I’m pleased to announce that my most recent book about environmental activist David (Walrus) Garrick, is being published by Ronsdale Press in Vancouver. The scheduled release is for April 2026.
Garrick spent many years working behind the scenes, and his story reveals his contributions to Greenpeace, SPEC, First Nation’s land use and protection of wildlife.
I am currently scheduling book events and talks for the spring. Please visit my Future Appearances page to view scheduled dates and for contact information. Future Appearances
My history of Strathcona Provincial Park, A Journey Back to Nature,
published by Heritage House Publishing in Victoria in 2021, won the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Historical Writing, Third Place (Finalist) sponsored by the BC Historical Federation.
This largely environmental history continues to find new audiences as we grapple in the province of BC with the desire for a growing economy often at odds with natural resources protection.
An autographed copy of the book can be ordered through this site Order Here or purchased at several British Columbia bookstores, including Coho Books and the Museum at Campbell River, Strathcona Park Lodge and Outdoor Education Centre and in Courtenay at the Strathcona Wilderness Institute’s Paradise Meadows Info Centre.
