What's new with Richard Mahler . . .
- Southwest Storylines, my column profiling some of the most interesting people and places in southwestern New Mexico, in January 2012 ended a 3+-year run in Desert Exposure, the best little newspaper in the region. Each column since mid-2008 is archived at the the Desert Exposure website. Search under my name at that site to find them or click here to read a sample.
- An ongoing series of articles and interviews related to those doing interesting and innovative things in the realm of mindfulness, particularly individuals working in the health professions. Check the Mindful Musings newsletter pages at Kelley McCabe Ruff's amazing eMindful.com.
- My book, The Jaguar's Shadow: Searching for a Mythic Cat, was published by Yale University Press in fall 2009 and documents my quest to see a jaguar in the wild. Inspired by photos taken of these big cats (no fooling) in Arizona and New Mexico, I made my way through Mexico and Central America, prowling through jungles, savannas, and swamps. Learn more, read an excerpt, and order a copy at the book's indepth website.
