Sounds like you are covering some amazing things in your The White Kudo. A friend of mine, Gary Thorp, wrote a book on his search for ther elusive California mountain lion (he never spotted it, but understood the journey as the thing, a zen journey ('Caught in Fading Light,' Walker and company, 2002). Sounds like you book has a similiar transformational quality. I love your reference to deserts. Still yearn for Santa Fe, New Mexico desert and Death Valley in California/Nevada (have shot several movies out there when the temperature was nothing like the 130 of high summer). At any rate, you remind me of that special feeling when you discuss The White Kudo. Looking forward to reading your book! Thanks for the comment Gisela.

I really liked the small history on the word 'maverick' - too many people abuse it to mean vaguely interesting! Hi Rick: exciting times – in all sorts of ways.
