Soon after moving to Astoria, Oregon, I set out to buy a book on its vast history. To my surprise, I discovered that no such book had been written. So, I decided to write it myself.
“Astoria: An Oregon History” was published in 2008 by The Local History Company in Pittsburgh PA. The book was well-received locally and sold out in a matter of months. Unfortunately, my publisher fell on hard times and could not keep the book in print.
In 2010, I established Rivertide Publishing, my history book was back, and my second book, “A is for Astoria," was published. I had so much fun creating “A is for Astoria” that I decided to do a similar book about Sunriver, Oregon, where my family had spent many joyous winter and summer vacations. “S is for Sunriver” was published in 2014.
Since then, I have been busy assisting others with their book projects. Some are available for sale (listed on this website), and others are personal memoirs to be given to family and friends.
October 2021
"A is for Astoria" and "S is for Sunriver" are now paperback books distributed by Paradise Cay Publications.
"Astoria" is now distributed by Oregon State University Press.
February 2023 - Stay tuned!
I've been working on a new picture book with artist Sally Lackaff that I hope will be in print sometime this summer.
