	Here are my books.
	My story, "A Day in the Life of a River Driver," (from Timberrr: A History of Logging in New England, Millbrook Press, 2003) is included in Rivers of Ink: Literary Reflections on the Penobscot, published by 12 Willows Press in 2023. The book is a charity anthology, with proceeds benefitting Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters, and was a finalist for a 2024 Maine Literary Award.
	And take a look at a few of my magazine articles and stories. There are nearly 100 of them! One of my retold legends has been republished by Cricket Media as an eBook, two retold legends are now available as audiobooks by Cricket Media, and two plays have been republished as Readers' Theater books.
