Respect for Nature

Eric Redmon Author Interview

Walk With Me follows a former park ranger and his grandson who bond through hikes and camping trips, and through their adventures learn valuable lessons about passing down knowledge, love, and courage. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

Walk With Me was inspired by my three grandsons, and I dedicated the book to them. As they’ve grown, I have tried to be their window to the outdoors, and it has rounded my life in amazing ways.

What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?

Important to me in my novella is the passing of valuable information – life skills – from one generation to the other. Respect for nature is a critical concept to pass on to all who will read my novel.

What experience in your life has had the most significant impact on your writing?

Influence from my parents, especially my mother, who encouraged my passion for written expression.

What story are you currently in the middle of writing?

I’ve written books in many genres, and Walk With Me is my latest. My favorite genre to write is historical fiction, and my thoughts are trending there again. Time will tell…
