About Bayside:

Twenty-one year old Billy Bakeman has well-calculated plans to spend his final summer of college back home in Maine interning at his uncle's law firm. However, he soon finds himself on the precipice of a criminal investigation that will test the small-town loyalties and reputations he spent his whole adolescence believing were ironclad. The easy solution would be to let law enforcement handle the case, but Billy believes the best way to the truth is to use resources at his own disposal, even if it means taking personal risks and busting glamorous myths about the place he calls home and the people he trusts.

About When my Mother was a Mountain

In the summer of 1996 my life took a detour during a month-long  solo camping trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. My only companion was my German shepherd, Doug. It was then that some unimaginable things happened. I sensed emanations from the land, saw the ghosts of Indigenous people, and watched birds morph before my eyes. The journey led to a spontaneous transformation from ordinary science teacher into medical intuitive and healer. In my journal, I documented my near catastrophes, metaphysical anomalies, and the incredible sadness of the area.
