So far, I've hiked the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, the Long Trail (VT), and parts of the Continental Divide Trail. I developed an abiding interest in hiking when I began climbing the 67 four-thousand footers in New England. Completed that quest and will now begin hiking the four-thousand footers in the Adirondacks (NY). I'm a graduate of Wentworth Institute and Boston University. "THE TRAIL" (thriller) which is my debut novel was released by Turner Publishing in October 2015. "The Trail" is not just another walk in the woods! The second novel in my Karl "Awol" Bergman hiking-thriller series is "SIERRA," (released in 2016) which takes place along the Pacific Crest Trail. Book three of the "Awol" series, THE DIVIDE, an eco-terrorist novel, released 8/18/'20. My next book is Sci-fi. LIFT: The Rise of M-L-M releases in 2024 My novels are available in all bookstores. Thank you, and happy trails to all!
