What’s New:
I’m thrilled to announce that my book on the most visited national park in the country, Family Fun in the Smokies: A Family-Friendly Guide to the Great Smoky Mountains, will be published in February by the Great Smoky Mountains Association.
This spring, I’ll also be published in a new media--the smartphone! I’m writing an app for both the iPhone and the Android called The Smoky Mountains Travel Guide through Sutro Media. Look for it on iTunes.
Last year, I finished helping Christiane Northrup, M.D. update her bestselling books, The Wisdom of Menopause (which Bantam released in January) and Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (which Bantam released in May).
I’m also pleased to say that I’ve recently signed a contract with Willow Moon Publishing for my first children’s picture book, The Banana Police. The projected publication date is July 2012--we’re currently looking for an illustrator.
My updated version of The Insiders’ Guide to the Great Smoky Mountains, published by The Globe Pequot Press, is available in bookstores nationwide.
