He has been a reporter, editor, columnist, ski writer, travel expert and novelist. His works have appeared in magazines and newspapers worldwide.


 

Moonlight in Vermont: The National IndieExcellence Awards judged this book to be the best independently-published Romance novel of 2007. Suspense! Was the death of a champion World Cup skier an accident, a suicide, or something else?

From the Dead: The untold story of the New Jersey connection to the disappearance of Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa, particularly about an unsecured $85,000 loan of Teamsters health & welfare funds to a waste disposal company in Michigan where Hoffa's body was to have been incinerated. A novel that combines true crime — what happened to Hoffa? — with fictionialized characters based upon real people.


The Mad River Valley (with Ellie Hilferty): In old photographs, from the mid-1850s to mid-1950s, how an isolated but beautiful valley went from bucolic farmland to exciting destinations of skiing while keeping its 19th Century architecture, character and culture.
