Introduction

I’m an independent book author and magazine journalist who’s been in the business for over 25 years. I’ve covered everything from sabbaticals to baby names to funeral food customs, though in the last few years I’ve focused on writing biographies. Now I'm back to writing travel stories for magazines, newspapers and websites, and pride myself on being able to take one topic and spin it off into at least three different assignments for a variety of consumer and trade publications.

Experience & Expertise

I have written 40+ books, several of which are travel books: Vermont Off the Beaten Path, and Stones & Bones of New England, a guide to notable cemeteries. I belong to the International Association of Culinary Professionals, the International Food, Wine & Travel Writers Association, and the Society of American Travel Writers.

Publishing Credentials

Travel & Leisure, Cookie Magazine, Wine Enthusiast, Celebrated Living, 100s of others.

Awards Received

Haunted Heart, my biography of Stephen King, was nominated for an Edgar Award in 2010.
