Welcome to Field Notes

Some adventures begin with a packed backpack.

Others begin with a simple question.

"I wonder what's over there?"

Welcome to Field Notes, the web journal behind Journeys Of The Crew and A Wild Guide.

This is where I'll share updates as the series continues to take shape, along with the ideas, places, and experiences that inspire it. You'll also find glimpses behind the scenes, outdoor discoveries, and the occasional clue about adventures still waiting to be told.

Not every entry will be about writing.

Some may explore a forgotten trail, an old map, a campfire lesson, or a quiet moment in the woods that sparks an idea for a future adventure. Others may simply offer a look behind the scenes as the books continue to grow.

Whether you've wandered here because you enjoy outdoor adventure, middle-grade fiction, or you're simply curious about where this journey is heading, I'm glad you're here.

Thanks for stopping by.
