Writing

I am author or major contributor to four books, and I also work as a ghostwriter (writing engaging books on technical subjects such as science, medicine or finance for busy professionals such as doctors and lawyers and business executives). Click here for more about my books.

Besides writing books, I freelance for many different quality publications in Canada, the USA, and around the world. Many of my more “serious” articles relate to science, the environment, and indigenous issues and rights. My more “fun” articles are about endurance sports, adventure travel, and ultrarunning.
