Darcy Williamson


Biography

I am an award-winning author of more than twenty-three books, a Rocky Mountain herbalist, and naturalist. As an independent business woman I own From The Forest, an herbal business that specialized in apprentice training as well as seminars and educational programs.

My hobbies include hiking, camping, cross-country skiing, and gardening ~ enjoying the great outdoor opportunities provided by my central Idaho setting.

Aside from my eBooks, I currently have three books published by Caxton Printers, Ltd., (Basque Cooking and Lore; River Tales of Idaho and The Rocky Mountain Wild Foods Cookbook) plus two recently published titles, Healing Plants of the Rocky Mountains and McCall's Historic Shore Lodge.

  • Leave me alone: Memoirs of an Exmormon on April 14, 2010
    star star star star star
    I don't normally review books, leaving the task to those who are more academic than I. However, the first story in this author’s compilation caught my interest. And having read it, I looked forward to the following stories, reading my way through the pages in awe of the emotions and feelings they evoked. I will ponder over B. E. Hewson’s words for many days to come.
