2018 was another great year for me personally as a naturist.
Travel: I was able to visit new naturist locales in Spain and in Canada, accompanied by loved ones.
Communities: I again ran in the 5K at Oaklake Trails and broke my previous record for book sales at their Fall Arts Festival, also accompanied by loved ones at these events. I joined MeWe, which has several promising naturist communities.
Writing: The naturist fiction site that Paul, Robert and I run has continued to grow, with active posting and commenting throughout the year. I had another article published in The Naturist Society's N magazine - this one on nudity and the body in ancient Mexico. My novels Aglow and Co-ed Naked Philosophy continue to sell and get great reviews, and I have made strong progress on my next novel, a "Naturists of the Caribbean" buccaneer adventure!
What I am most proud of this year is The Nude Adventures of Doff de Chonez pa su Mecha, a twelve-part naturist Don Quixote you can read on this site for free. One reviewer wrote:
Following Cervantes, who wrote a second part of his original novel, I do indeed plan to return to the story at some point with a sequel, and publish them both in book & ebook form.
Here's to a marvelously naked and natural 2019!

"A laugh out loud story that is informative, poignant, and mostly just a lot of fun. We feel for Doff de Chonez and Sammy Panzov in their misguided attempts to make the world, or at least central California, a more naked place. Absolutely terrific writing, outstanding concept. More adventures, please!"
