More About the Author

My next two books to reach the book stores are "Chesapeake Bay Crabs" cookbook, from Pelican Publishing (due September 30, 2011) and the 11th edition of "Virginia Off the Beaten Path" from Globe Pequot Press (due October 4, 2011). I will be signing copies of "Chesapeake Bay Crabs" at Sam's Club in Annapolis, Maryland, on October 15 from 10 am to 12 noon and at Costco in Hanover, Maryland (Arundel Mills), also on October 15 from 2 to 4 pm. It's hard back, 123 recipes (including a crab creme brulee dessert) and lots of photos. Great gift - have all your shopping done by mid October! Please stop by and say hello.

I'm a naturally curious person and I figure if I find something fascinating to me I can try to make it fascinating for you. Primarily, I consider myself a travel writer although my articles rarely appear in travel sections or publications. My articles might be about hotels that provide child-proofing services or where you can buy that wonderfully comfortable pillow from your favorite hotel.

I love it when someone says, "I didn't know that."

I've written about Super Bowl trivia and grocery shopping cart design trends. I have not written about mud wrestling. I've written for the Internet, international and national publications, and more than a dozen books.

A vast army of friends and associates (and some research) keep me informed about what's happening as it's happening. You're encouraged to contribute to my knowledge or suggest a topic or magazine looking for a writer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not What the Title Implies, July 29, 2007
By 
Red Blayze "jl952" (Lancaster, PA United States) - See all my reviews
There are a few things wrong with this book and title. First, a two hundred page book on Maryland and Delaware only has 29 pages on Delaware. There are 32 pages on Greater Washington (like there is much off the beaten path here). Next is some of the Off the Beaten Path palces covered are such unheard of places as - BWI Airport, US Naval Academy, Camden Yards, Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Delaware Art Museum and Dover Air Force Base. That last one is where you can see the C5A cargo planes that according to the book each plane "is big enough to hold several football fields". Now that is a unique plane!
Much of this book seems little more then the author collected those flyiers from the card racks found at most hotels. While there are some unique places in the book most of it is little more than press release quotes from the local Chambers of Commerce. It is not "A Guide to Unique Places" that it claims to be.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not far enough off the path., September 18, 2008
By 
I have had the previous version of this guide for quite a few years and found it fairly useful. Most of the locations are pretty well known and a lot of the information is sorely outdated. For example, the author lists contact information for a local artist, along with an address for visitors. I live next door to the house in question and the artist has long since moved on to a managed care facility and the home is definitely not a museum that welcomes visitors any more. This kind of error makes me hesitant to seek out some of the other, lesser known, locations that are listed.
