Reflections in the Ice: Glacial Seasons in Alaska.
I've been working on a book for the past few months. Currently I'm sitting just shy of 40,000 words. The book is a personal nature book about the seasons I've spent as a ranger, especially focused on the season I spent on glacier boats. Some of the essays in this blog have in inserted and modified into the book.
The book will touch on all things Alaska: glaciers, mountains, bears, fishing and special places. It'll take you from Ketchikan to Barrow, but focused mostly on south-central Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula. I also have a few essays I'm including from Olympic and Mt. Rainier National Parks.
It's a reflective piece, thus the name. It reflects upon my journey into the wild, my witness to receding glaciers and the effects of climate change. It's also a reflection upon myself. Much like the writings those of you have read here in my blog.
The difference is the format. Everything will be connected and themed together into a long read--the kind of book I would have wanted to read if I had interest in Alaska.
I'll keep you updated.
