Set against the backdrop of a fierce Idaho blizzard, Zen in a Mountain Snowstorm follows Brian and Anne O'Neil, a married couple forced to abandon their goal of joining friends living along a mountain road and seek shelter. What they find is far more than a refuge from the snow. In a modest home belonging to the hospitable Willy Piggmann, the couple joins four strangers: Willy's sister Milly, her husband Nate, and Nate's sister Paulie. Together, the six engage in a magical evening of open dialogue that traverses topics such as ecology, metaphysics, medicine, quantum physics, and the future of technology.

"This book was inspired by the kind of conversations that linger long after they've ended-the ones that make you see the world a little differently," says Moynihan. "It's about the human urge to connect, to understand, and to learn from each other's experiences that enhance our own awareness of the world around us."

As the snow piles high outside, the warmth inside deepens-not just from the fire, but from the shared curiosity and mutual respect that develop among the characters. Moynihan uses their diverse backgrounds and knowledge as a platform to explore interdisciplinary thinking, inviting the reader to reflect on how knowledge, empathy, and wonder are vital to addressing the most pressing issues of our time.

A Continuation of a Literary Legacy

Zen in a Mountain Snowstorm builds on Moynihan's growing reputation as a writer whose works illuminate the depth and breadth of the human experience. His previous titles have captivated readers with their authenticity, intellect, and poetic reflection:

- The Ravens of Snover Canyon

A deeply observed and meticulously documented naturalist narrative chronicling the life cycle of a pair of wild ravens that nested near the author's home. With stunning attention to behavioral detail and emotional resonance, the book explores the intelligence of these birds, their cycles of loss and renewal, and our place with them in the natural world.

- Roads Less Traveled

A thoughtful meditation on the metaphorical and literal roads we choose in life. Through his many travels that taken him to uncommon destinations, Moynihan reflects on decision-making, risk, reward, and growth, offering readers a map to understanding how our paths-planned or accidental-shape our identity.

- Spirit of the Sky Walkers

Blending aviation memoir with poetic introspection, this book details Moynihan's 30+ years of flying across North America with his wife, also a pilot. Each chapter opens with a poem and closes with an unforgettable story from the skies, delivering a sense of awe and freedom to pilots and dreamers alike.

Together, these works form a tapestry of intellectual exploration, natural wonder, and human spirit, culminating with the Second Edition of Zen in a Mountain Snowstorm , which brings it all home-literally-around a fire during a snowstorm.
