Indiana Jones and the Amazon

The internet is abuzz with talk of Bradley Cooper playing Indiana Jones. I think it could work. But I hope that instead of just hunting for treasure, the new Jones is after something bigger - maybe species? This would be  a great time to include a conservation message into a mainstream adventure. But until Bradley Cooper confirms, I guess we are left with the real life Indiana Jones of the Amazon! 

Time with Elephants

It is an incredibly distressing thing to want to help an emergency that you cannot see, cannot hear, and that is thousands of miles away. If it were not for the internet, and the occasional magazine article we would have no concept of what is happening to the natural world right now. We'd have no idea how fast rhinos and elephants are being exterminated from Africa. Even as I work with everything I have to try and protect a part of the Amazon - the sand is draining from the glass on so many other stories.

This one is going down in Brooklyn's DUMBO area (Down.Under.theManhattan.Bridge.Overpass). Powerhouse Arena is Brooklyn's 'laboratory for creative thought', where performances and exhibitions and book events of all kinds take place. On Tuesday March 25th I'll be there in-conversation with my editor Michael Signorelli talking about the creation of Mother of God with questions food, drinks, and photos after. Don't miss it!

Get Ready for the BOOK LAUNCH!

With just over a month to go until Mother of God is out - we are announcing the very first event in NYC. Join me at Modo Yoga NYC for food, drinks, reading, questions, music and perhaps even some Amazonian wildlife. Its going to be awesome!
