You can still buy a copy of my book, "The Five Stages of Quitting Farming," but I have less than 300 copies left. Get 'em while they last.

This book is about farming in Washington State. Here are some quotes from readers:

"It brought back so many emotions about my connections to the family farm in Montana."

"I love your book. It has given voice to the range of emotions I've felt through watching my parents die, the farm decline, and the
inevitability take over. Rural South Dakota is a little different than rural Washington -- but not materially so."

"My husband is originally from Northeastern Oklahoma (very rural) and really identified with your poems."

"Your book gives a voice to the people often forgotten when we talk about how this country was built. Of course I have a bias--I was born in Ft. Collins."

"The most depressing book I ever read." (a reader in New York City)

The Five Stages of Quitting Farming can be purchased for $9.95 by clicking on the order form link. (And no charges for shipping and handling.)
