The latest iteration of the 'guruge.com' site/blog -- downsized, scaled back & simplified
These days, at 72, struggling with my workaholic OCD (which precludes me from taking life easy like others of my age) and my entrenched pre-diabetes, my books more than anything else best defines my 'working' persona (outside of family, my daily ambling and my dogs). So, let's start of with that. There will be (in time (if I ever get the time)) a whole section on these books and my other writings, but this should give you a quick overview as to what I have been up to. There are currently 43 published books, available worldwide on numerous platforms, print, ebook & audio -- where I am the sole author. There are four or more books where I am the co-author or editor. I haven't included them here. Currently very preoccupied (consistent with OCD) on a series of books on 'Acadia National Park'. The 1st of these was published in Sept. 2025. See below. This is what is stopping me from getting done on this Websites. I am sorry. I do intend to work on this. 😁
