My Adirondacks: Ten Stories From Twenty Years
My Adirondacks, published 2015, was my only memoir and thus special to me. Though people half-jokingly warned I was too young to enter this genre at age 43, the year this 268-page book was published it was honored with the Adirondack Center for Writing's Memoir of the Year Award. My Adirondacks went out of print in 2025 when the final ten copies sold at collector edition prices.
