Active Towns

I produce multimedia content that inspires the creation of communities that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities," and I frequently interview authors and feature books in my content. I've created this store to help provide you with convenient access to these books and some of my other favorites while supporting local bookstores.
