About
I am a Seattle-based author, editor and freelance writer who currently focuses on travel and lifestyle topics. History is an emerging passion for me, and in a new book in progress, I cross continents and history to retrace my father’s steps on the battlefields of World War II. My memoir “All Roads Lead to Rome” tells about restoring a lost bond by learning from significant places, revisiting our history and reckoning with memory.
I’ve written two bicycling guidebooks, two gardening books, a business-leader’s profile and numerous articles for periodicals and web publications. I’m also a veteran book, magazine and web editor, and perform writing and editing duties for corporate clients and publishers. I’ve been working in these fields in Seattle since 1985.

Cycling the Pacific Coast: The Complete Guide from Canada to Mexico
The Pacific Coast route is the most popular bike touring route in the U.S., and Cycling the Pacific Coast is the only comprehensive guidebook on this amazing route. Cycling the Pacific Coast is organized in five sections—Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Central California, and Southern California—and is useful to riders who plan to do the trip as one epic ride, or break it up to peddle sections at a time. The book covers the entire 2,000-mile route from Canada to Mexico, including alternate and side-route options. It includes essential details on lodging, camping, loading the bike, safe cycling, road conditions, weather, and more. New bike tourers will find equipment information, packing advice, and safety tips, among other helpful trip suggestions. And all riders will find the guidance to experience the trip of a lifetime.
