Rusty Press was started in 2021. With three books in hardcopy and multiple eBooks, I learned two things: you get lost in the large on-line bookstores and they're all about making money. I had no way of giving a book away if I wanted.

Rusty Press was started in 2021. With three books in hardcopy and multiple eBooks, I learned two things: you get lost in the large on-line bookstores and they're all about making money. I had no way of giving a book away if I wanted.
Since then Rusty Press has transitioned into a place for me to share and to encourage intellectual exchange, reading and critical thought.
I am hoping to encourage some authors I've encountered to share essays about their books. If you are a writer and would like to share your work on Rusty Press, please email me at RustyPress@use.startmail.com

I am a retired psychotherapist who, after retiring, has followed my passions and dreams. My wife, Pamela, and I spent the first ten years of retirement as nomadic RVer’s spending over 90% of our life off-the-grid far out into the Sonoran Desert or in the northern Rocky Mountains of Glacier National Park in northwestern Montana where we served as volunteer campground hosts.
An animist, unabashed tree-hugger and environmentalist, my post-retirement avocation became wildlife management, living among and helping keep deer, mountain goats, big horn sheep, bears and other creatures safe.
Living in a twenty-foot camper trailer we called Nitsitapiisinni (Blackfeet for ‘our way of life’), I enjoyed spending free time writing stories and hiking through the wilderness.
Health issues brought us back east to be near family. We have a wonderful 1.5 acre hollow I call Black Fox Hollow filled with native flora and fauna. I can sit in front of our large widow looking out on the hollow and get inspiration as I write.
I now volunteer as an interpretative ranger at the local National Park Service Trail of Tears Commemorative Park.
