His stories, articles and essays have appeared in newspapers and magazines nationwide.

His book, Signals from the Heartland, a narrative about people, the environment, ecology and natural history of Illinois and Missouri, was published in 1993 by Walker and Company, New York. It was cited by “Library Journal,” a leading review publication, as one of the best science and technology books for lay readers published in 1993, along with a title by Stephen Jay Gould. Of this book, Kurt Vonnegut commented: “What a relief it is, and how encouraging about America it is, to know of these people who respond to what we have done to our planet without panic and despair, but who devote their lives and their courage and their resourcefulness to modest but fruitful demonstrations of where we can go from here.” More recently, his short story “Country Sleep” was cited by the Catholic Press Association of the United States and Canada as Honorable Mention for Best Short Story of 2004.
