Journalism
Fresh out of college, I reported and wrote arts and entertainment articles for two community newspapers in Baltimore. After moving to Alaska, I wrote articles on wildlife and other outdoor subjects for Audubon, Defenders of Wildlife, Margin and Alaska magazines, and produced an environmental organization’s newsletter. Here are some excerpts and photos.
Book
Living in Alaska, I got interested in an Alaska pioneer and bear expert named Allen Hasselborg. I spent two years researching a biography of him on several grants, traveling to museums and libraries and interviewing sources in 12 states. The University of Alaska Press published “Bear Man of Admiralty Island” in 1996.
Praise for Bear Man of Admiralty Island
Read first chapter (with illustrations)
If you would like to buy Bear Man of Admiralty Island, I highly recommend that you buy a first edition (1996) copy, not the more recent (1999?), on-demand, digital-print edition that has underexposed, blurry photo reproductions. On Amazon, beware of the prominently misleading “1996” under the main (headline) book title and their offer of a “new” version to be delivered “when available”; buy only “used” after contacting the bookseller to make sure you’ll get the 1996 edition.
