West is Eden
Ken McAlpine’s magazine articles have earned three Lowell Thomas awards, travel writing's top award. More important to him, writing has provided unbridled opportunity for play; from free diving with sharks, to running the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, to sparring with the world shoot fighting champion (you cannot learn a martial art in a week). Ken is also the author of several books, including the non-fiction works“Off Season: Discovering America on Winter’s Shore” and “Islands Apart: A Yearon the Edge of Civilization," and the novels “Fog” and “Together We Jump.” Writing has sent him around the globe, but no matter where he travels he can’t wait to get home to Ventura, his favorite place in this fascinating world and inspiration for his column, West is Eden.
