About / Bio
David Hirzel’s works include self-help books and nonfiction narratives based on polar exploration. Readers of the Pacifica Tribune and Marin IJ may be familiar with his regular appearances in their opinion pages. His Terra Nova Press specializes in polar and seafaring nonfiction.
When not writing from Sky Ranch overlooking the Pacific, he can be found at the drafting table of his architectural design firm or sailing his (and Alice’s) gaff-rigged catboat on San Pablo Bay.
