About

The Author and The Artist

Material for this book was first collected in the year 2000.

The manuscript began as a playful dialogue that went on over the course of many months between author Susanne Sims and artist Jim Channon.

Sims (aka Louise) carried around a small notebook capturing the ideas and developing them while Channon (aka Todd) added his delicious artwork to the mix.

They have performed “Conversations with Todd” as a stage play at Artesia,

an outdoor amphitheatre located on the Big Island of Hawaii.

She is the author of “Healing Vacations in Hawaii” and the former educational director of the New Millennium Institute where friend and scholar Terence McKenna once taught. He is a strategic visionary artist and the founder of the First Earth Battalion. His innovative work in the military inspired the major motion picture “The Men Who Stare at Goats.” For more information see: www.NewEarthArmy.com

P.S. Rest assured...book two is on its way!
