Welcome
Greetings dear visitor. I am so pleased you found this site. I am sure you will enjoy reading the book and associated postings as much as I enjoyed writing them.

The Blog
I maintain a blog with well considered  bimonthly postings loosely based around the book. Like the book, the blog covers a diverse range of issues and topic areas. Primarily it focuses on natural resource management and cultural issues.

The blog tackles the difficult issues, asks the hard questions, and fears no critic. See here: http://www.findinghomebookspace.blogspot.com.au/

The Book
It has been a long journey but the book is now in stores, including locally the Fullers Bookshop and the Hobart bookshop. The explanatory introduction reads:

“At four years of age Erik emigrated from Britain to the island State of Tasmania with his non-conforming family. After living in the woods the family continued to home educate, helping to pioneer the home education movement in Australia. What followed was a long personal journey to find a place in a society undergoing rapid change. Intense religious experiences and hard edged political activism play out against a backdrop of ongoing conflict over the preservation and destruction of wilderness in one of the world’s special places. Often humorous, sometimes tragic, this is a very personal story of engaging with public life, about finding the divine in odd places, about social conflict, and about finding in the end those things that hold us together. It is about the strange ways that love finds us. It is a story of finding home.”

Finding Home is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all good e-book sellers. Be sure to include the full author name in your search, or click on the following links:
