I am a Tacoma area freelance photographer and a native of the Pacific Northwest. I recently published a series of 5 books on historical and abandoned places in Idaho. They are available on amazon:

My most recent project is a historical fiction novel about a legendary individual named Peg Leg Annie that lived in Idaho's gold mining camps in the late 1800s. I mentioned her briefly in one of my books, and a friend said, “This deserves a novel.” I took that advice. The result is a historical fiction novel rooted in real people and documented events, with imagined dialogue that brings the past to life. The book is now available on Amazon:

My favorite thing in the whole world to do is to pack up my Canon gear, hop in my Jeep Wrangler and travel the backroads of the PNW. The result was my self-published book, The Seven Wonders of Washington State (also available on amazon.com), which highlights the seven most scenic natural wonders of the Evergreen State. My travel photographs have been published in the Seattle Official Visitors Guide, Frommer's Seattle Day by Day, Washington State Visitor's Guide, Scenic Washington, Washington State Wine Official Tour Guide and numerous books, calendars and web sites. My photographs of abandoned places in Washington State are organized by county.

I created a blog for my read trips in Idaho. It features photographs and stories of my adventures.
