A Mountain Spruce: book two in the electrifying new series Speakers of the EarthThe council of the Speakers has just ended, and Ray Holdman must now confront gifts and capabilities that are coming to him quickly and inexplicably, in ways both frightening and dangerous. No longer certain who-or even what-he is or is becoming, Ray quickly learns that without all the help his remarkable new friends have to offer, nothing but catastrophe will follow.The backcountry of Tahoma-also called Mount Rainier-teems with elemental energy that drives and vivifies the Earth. Used properly by those gifted with its secrets, this energy is a boundless source of healing, replenishment and growth. Used wrongly, or ignorantly, it becomes an agent of fearful destruction. Now Ray must stretch his body, heart, and mind beyond anything he has ever known or imagined, in order to wield properly the power he has been given, and that he was born with. Ray''s next choices, and how he carries them out, will decide whether his newfound friends, the land, and all who live in it will live or die.  Equal parts ecological fiction and contemporary mythology, Speakers of the Earth is a riveting, hair-raising adventure from a storyteller with deep human wisdom to share, and an impassioned ode to the beauty and more-than-human intelligence of the natural world, and the humans who strive to live in community with it.

Surviving on the hard-scrabble streets of Seattle in 2000, likeable and troubled Ray Holdman carries a secret-one that destroyed his father and has made Ray into a lifelong vagabond: he can communicate with trees.After a chance meeting sets Ray on the road to nearby Mt. Tahoma, also known as Mt. Rainier, he enters the park's vast wilderness and soon stumbles on an unlikely cast of characters who seem to have the power to commune with-even work with-the forces of nature. But Ray's new friendships and growing understanding of his own remarkable gifts are pushed to the limit when he encounters a malevolent spirit intent on destroying the earth as we know it, and all those Ray is quickly coming to hold dear.Equal parts ecological fiction and contemporary mythology, Speakers of the Earth is a riveting, hair-raising adventure from a storyteller with wisdom to share, and an impassioned ode to the beauty and more-than-human intelligence of the natural world.

Richard Jones constructs a narrative where beauty and revelation are found in first loves, foreign places, and captivating landscapes.

Insects are often overlooked because they are small or ignored because they are deemed trivial, and many are dismissed as nuisance pests. But their numbers and diversity are mind-numbing, and under even a modest hand lens they are beautiful or bizarre.Insects dominate the centre ground of all terrestrial and most aquatic ecosystems. They inform us of the conservation value of ancient woodland and chalk downland. They help monitor the purity or pollution levels of ponds, streams and rivers. And they can demonstrate the effects of climate change, acting as warning lights to alert us to the damage that humans are doing to the world. Recent insectageddon headlines are starting to make people sit up and take more notice.What better way to promote an interest in these fascinating creatures than by poetizing them? This cornucopia of discordant nonsense, with some quite frankly dubious rhyming clashes, is offered up so that entomological outreach will at least benefit from their shock value.

HDR Photography 'Art In Urban Exploration' By Richard Jones is a PHOTOGRAPHY PICTURE BOOK of abandon architecture, unusual locations, objects & street art. If you are interested in HDR Photography or urban exploration then this book serves as inspiration. Artist Excerpt: "Photography for me is a kind of story telling. I feel that not only do people have stories to share, places and objects also contain a hidden memory, the emotion somewhat personally introspective of ones self. To me abandoned places and objects are in a kind of waiting limbo, the beauty in decay occasionally accented by the colours of graffiti contain moods that I feel HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography accentuates with surreal, hyper realistic renditions. My intention is to share these photographs with you to respectfully ad remembrance to these moments of limbo and the beauty they contain."
