LIFE WITHOUT SHAME
Yes, it finally happened. After dodging the proverbial bullet for three decades, it finally hit me: the most embarrassing thing that can happen to a nudist. I've hated clothes since I was a kid. Shoes, socks, underwear (shudder): stick to me like leeches. By age twelve, I was stripping down to my bare skin the... Continue Reading →
For a moment, I thought I had a brilliant idea. Since nudist and naturist appear to have been co-opted by p@rn, I figured we needed a new name. First and foremost, what we do is NOT about sex! That's the whole point of the lifestyle and an important distinction for me and the tiny percentage... Continue Reading →
David Sedaris would like you to know that nudists are ugly and weird and should probably know better. At least, that’s the impression he gives, if his book, Naked, is any indication. It’s crass, low-brow comedy—and a sneaky way for him to make fun of fat people just for being fat because, hey, they’re naked,... Continue Reading →
This isn't a post I ever thought I would be making and most certainly never wanted to make, but I can't ignore reality anymore. So . . . it's over, folks. At least for me. I doubt I will be writing any more articles for this blog. If you've been following my other social media... Continue Reading →
For those not in the know, Stéphane Deschênes takes my vote for naturist president (if such a thing existed). Soft-spoken, erudite, and with a French Canadian accent pronouncing episode more like ebisode, Stéphane is the first person who comes to my mind to represent the clothes-free lifestyle. For Stéphane, ethical naturism, as he calls it,... Continue Reading →
I'm back with another video! This time, I'd like to talk about something that's been bothering me for quite some time; it's the clash between actual nudist values and the social media algorithm. So, if you're clicking on this video hoping to satisfy some voyeuristic urge, you just might be the problem. Anyone who has... Continue Reading →
Get excited, fellow naturists! Your heroine has arrived!!! Inspired by this author's nude hikes through Florida's wetlands, The Feral Girl tells the story of Thelana, a young girl who must navigate through the harshest environment imaginable---a dense rainforest teeming with dinosaurs---to reach civilization. She wears no clothes, must forage for food, and can only rely... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone, if you've ever wanted to meet me and if you live in and around the Tampa Bay area (or if you don't mind the drive), I'll be at Lake Como Family Nudist Resort this November 19th for Craft Day! I will be offering my latest naturist adventure novel, The Feral Girl, signing copies,... Continue Reading →
What better way to read a book about a naked hero (Thelana) than by doing it naked? (OK, I am basically naked 24/7 at home) but that's neither here nor there. What really matters here is the story ... and The Feral Girl delivers! It's been called my most accomplished novel to date, followed by... Continue Reading →
This Memorial Day weekend, I was invited to host a book signing event for The Feral Girl at Cypress Cove Nudist Resort, and it all went splendily. I had many pleasant conversations with guests and I sold every copy I'd brought but two. Nudist Gandalf and head librarian, Paul LeValley, also added my books to the American... Continue Reading →
