I also have worked in journalism; as a teacher; and I ran a therapeutic wilderness program for children, youth, and families for 10 years. I currently work part time at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. I've been writing since my first short story at the age of 13. In 2005 I published, with a POD publisher, A CERTAIN FALL. This book received good reviews and developed into a training module for the State of Maine's DHHS and Spurwink School, and, with his assistance and permission, merging with Dr Vincent Felitti's ground breaking research on the long term impact of childhood abuse on individuals and society. My second book, SPIDER LAKE was released last summer and has recently been selected for study by a tri county literary group. I married my high school sweetheart in 1966. We have three adult children and two grandchildren. (Tons of photos available on request!) I enjoy tenting in the remote forests of Maine, classical music, good literature, and writing. (I've also written three screenplays). We live in a small coastal town in Maine. Please visit my Facebook: Maine Novels by Robert Chapman.visualizza meno
