Baer Charlton, an Amazon Best-Selling author, is a Social-Anthropologist by the University of California at Irvine. His many interests have led him around the world in search of the unique. As an internationally recognized Photo Journalist he has tracked mountain gorillas, been a podium for a Barbary Ape, communicated in sign language with an Orangutan named Boolon, kissed a kangaroo and many wild experiences in between. Or he was just monkeying around. His love for sailing has led him to file assignments from various countries, as well as from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean aboard a five-mast sailing ship. Baer has spoken on five continents, plus lecturing at sea. His copyrighted logo is “WR1T3R”. Within every person, there is a story. But inside that story, even a more memorable story. Those are the stories he likes to tell. There is no more complex and wonderful story than those coming from the human experience. Whether it is a Marine finding his way home as a civilian or a girl who is just trying to grow up, Mr. Charlton’s stories are all driven by the characters you come to think of as friends.
