Biography
Kim Vacariu migrated West after receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism at Kent State University. Upon arrival in Colorado he co-authored his first book, a collection of nature-infused poems peddled on the streets of Boulder. He soon launched a multi-year poetry-writing marathon, living in a remote off-the-grid cabin at the site of an old mining town called Bear River near Steamboat Springs, where he fully heard the call of the wild. Later, establishing a homestead in the nearby Elk River Valley, he co-founded and edited multiple publications, most notably the Steamboat Springs Review, a free alternative newspaper in which he first published The Adventures of Zee beginning in 1989. The newspaper received the local Environment 2000 Shining Star Award in 1995 for its “Commitment to Environmental Responsibility.” Vacariu continued focusing his writing and energy on Nature conservation, spending the next two decades as a communications specialist and grassroots organizer for Wildlands Network, where he created and directed a large coalition of conservation groups working to connect wild habitats in the Rocky Mountains. He continues to serve on boards of directors for nature-protection organizations, and lately claims he is scheming new ways to save what’s left of Nature in a future that is happening now.

Eco-Adventures of Zee
by Kim Vacariu
Last of the Ski Domes
The Magic Seed
In the distant future the human damage done to Nature over past centuries has come home to roost. At the same time, amazing technological advances like maglev-powered vehicles, human-like computer home assistants, and in the case of Zee and Lectra, an unworldly love-making process, vie as balances to a resource-starved, over-heated planet. Empowered by the long view that participation in an amazing life-extension experiment offers, the two gain a strange yet obvious understanding of humankind's permanent inability to halt its drive to save itself through trading the Earth's fragile remaining natural resources for short-term gains. Zee and Lectra decide saving what's left of Nature is worth dying for, scientifically engineering "monkeywrenching" direct actions that cripple projects designed to enhance the never-ending greed of humanity.
Incredible escapes from capture, aided by a strange device found on a Mars expedition, highlight the pair's futuristic romance and plans to derail the "human stupidity loop" that plagues the planet. The two-book series, restored from a text written before the internet and telecommunications explosions, gives uncanny legitimacy to a predictable fate.
