I’m Tony Porco, and this blog is focused on my upcoming book, Out West Writings. I am self-publishing it, and I am planning to have it ready for purchase in the next year. The book will be a compilation of essays about my travels in the American West, organized by state.
I have been inspired by many Western writers, but John Muir and John Wesley Powell are my favorites. (I am not claiming to write as well as they do; I am only saying that their writing influences me.) I am planning to include illustrations by artist friends of mine. The intended audience for the book includes real and armchair travelers, environmentalists, and anyone who enjoys good, evocative writing.
I will be posting samples, and links to parts of the book that have already been published online, on this blog. Feel free to email me at outwestwriter [at] fastmail [dot] fm. Thank you very much for your interest!
I look forward to reading more!
Thanks!
