Don Winslow, Local Author/South Kingstown
Back To Top ⇧Don Winslow was born in Perryville, Rhode Island and like Christian McBurney, another BoP local writer, attended South Kingstown High School. Conceivably he surfed the wild shores of Matunuck, as some of his books describe the sport as someone who has lived it. His professions have ranged from private investigator to expert trial consultant. Winslow has earned several prestigious writing awards, filmmakers want his stories for manuscripts, and he writes and lives now also in California. He and his wife remain safe from the wild fires.
















Breath & Breathing
Back To Top ⇧How we breathe matters
The way that we take in that air and expel it is as important as what we eat, how much we exercise and the genes we've inherited.
From James Nestor's new book, "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art," (Riverhead Books, 2020)
