Join author, conservationist, and library friend, William L. Sullivan for the talk New Hikes & Rajneeshees, which references his two new books, a hiking guide for Southern Oregon and a murder mystery about the Rajneeshees.

William L. Sullivan is the author of 22 books and numerous articles about Oregon, including a "Oregon Trails" feature column for the Eugene Register-Guard and the Salem Statesman-Journal. A fifth-generation Oregonian, Sullivan began hiking at the age of five and has been exploring new trails ever since. In 1985 Sullivan set out to investigate Oregon's wilderness on a 1,361-mile solo backpacking trek from the state's westernmost shore at Cape Blanco to Oregon's easternmost point in Hells Canyon. His journal of that two-month adventure, published as Listening for Coyote, was chosen by the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission in 2005 as one of the 100 most significant books in Oregon's history.

He has been happily married to the artist Janell Sorensen for 40 years.
