I’ve been waiting for years to hold a copy of Wayne’s book in my hands. I admire the relaxed way he has of easing spiritual lessons into the death-defying details of freight hopping with clarity and humor. Hobo Sapien is an exceptional book, to read, re-read, and take to heart.
Karen Chamberlain, Author of Desert of the Heart
Sojourn in a Community of Solitudes
Book Description
Garrison Keillor meets Jack Kerouac meets Mahatma Gandhi in this wry, road-wise scripture. HOBO SAPIEN is a series of freight train parables born out of the author’s 12-plus years riding freight trains, combined with lessons learned in his 7-year stint as a monk, plus the added bonus of fascinating railroad history.
Non-fiction readers buy books to learn something, for reference, or to be entertained. HOBO SAPIEN fills all three bills. Readers will get a unique immersion into the underground world of the hobo. The spiritual takes are written with a subtle humor that helps the medicine go down. It is not your parent’s self-help book.
Armchair adventurers, rail fans, spiritual seekers, and academia nuts will all gather intriguing information from this missive. It is vastly different from other hobo books because of its unparalleled combination of adventure, rail history, humor and spirituality. The author’s background is also unique and varied. Not many hobos have gone from Yale to rail or hunk to monk.

The Book Tour...
We completed our Spring Book Tour through Colorado, Utah and Oregon and have had some amazing experiences. The events were so much fun and the book is being received VERY well! We are grateful.
We will post any future travel plans on our calendar, so check back often!
This year’s book tour has been dedicated to Wayne’s dear friend, Karen Chamberlain (who’s testimonial is below). Karen died on Sept. 11, 2010, before we were able to see her in Glenwood Springs. However, Wayne had sent her an autographed copy of Hobo Sapien to hold in her hands. Karen is as responsible for seeing Hobo Sapien become a reality as anyone. Thank you Karen, we will miss you.
We were fortunate to attend the First Annual Karen Chamberlain Poetry Festival in Carbondale, CO, honoring her in late March.

Reminiscent of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance because it both informs and inspires reflective response, Hobo Sapien is also
accessible, witty, and insightful.
