David Stone (David Stone1)

(Note: this is my second HubPages profile, set up for the Squidoo migration. You can find my original profile and articles with HP ID David Stone - without the 1.)

I'm a New York City based writer of books, creator of online content and a journalist. My books can all be found on my Amazon Author Page.

Online, I publish in several places as well as here on HubPages. My interests are pretty broad, from meditation to cats to art to hippies and New Age gurus. There are a few stops between.

I'm always interested in any comments or thoughts you'd like to add to my posts. You're welcome to add to the content as long as you keep it clean.

Cheers from New York!
