My latest book, Maryland and Delaware Off the Beaten Path, 10th edition, is due to drop on July 1, 2022. Virginia Off the Beaten Path, 12th edition, was published on September 1, 2019. 100 Things to Do in Baltimore Before You Die books are still available and except for two or three items, is still current (alas, Herman Heyn, the street corner astronomer, died in 2021; the Sports Legends Museum closed but some items have been relocated to the Babe Ruth Museum). Previously, I co-authored "Peaceful Places Washington, D.C." (Menasha Ridge) and I compiled the "Chesapeake Bay Crabs" cookbook, (Pelican Publishing). It's hard back, 123 recipes (including a crab creme brulee dessert) and lots of photos and stories about crabs and Chesapeake people and history. I'm keeping busy working on articles for NextAvenue.org, Chesapeake Bay magazine and Bay Weekly paper, Southern Maryland: This Is Living Magazine, Northern Virginia magazine, and other consumer and trade print and online publications. I love it when someone reads something I wrote and says, "I didn't know that." I've written about Super Bowl trivia, divorce, temper tantrums, and grocery shopping cart design trends. I have not written about mud wrestling. I've written for the Internet, international and national publications, and regional magazines.
