Talk about a wonderful writer. Roland Smith inspires me. I met him at a conference in Maryland last year and was so enthralled by his advice to aspiring writers: if you want to write, don’t wait to have a cabin in the mountains, as you’ll probably just stare at the mountains; you have to be disciplined and write everywhere, every day. On that day he also told me about this wonderful latest book of his, which his answer to all the romantic tales of climbing Mt. Everest. A terrific book, in a long line of wonderfully diverse titles from this author - who used to work at the Portland Zoo.
