Both Langdon Towne and Keith Mark Johnson live in the Pacific Northwest of USA: Keith has guided for 'Mountain Madness'; and has taught creative writing under the headings of "life skills" in High Schools; "wellness" on an Indian reservation; and "Love and Virtue" in a maximum security Prison. Keith and Towne have climbed peaks around the world, though home remains the North Cascades, a technical range most folk outside the USA have never heard of.
Currently a lapsed school teacher, coach, and mountain guide with journalistic tendencies, the author has written for "Rock and Ice", "Northwest Runner", "Climbing" and a variety of small eZines. Two further novels are planned to be released in Spring 2016 and Autumn of the same year.
He is married, a father of two and grandfather of three, to date.
