My latest book project, which will connect with some of my other writing projects in progress, is to compile my many newspaper columns featuring the history of the town where I live, Plymouth, NH. The 250th anniversary of the town will be celebrated throughout 2012.
Over the years, I've written about the history of New Hampshire and Plymouth for newspapers and magazines. Why not compile some of these into book form and use my illustrations and photos to accompany the articles/chapters?
I've started a blog to keep readers updated about this project, Plymouth, NH's 250th Anniversary. Check it out periodically for my current status.

Working with NH History in Schools
It was exciting to interviewed by a teacher doing a research paper and proposal for NH history projects in schools. I've written about the history of our state for many years in newspaper and tourist paper columns.
One of my popular children's stories, Sarah Jane's Daring Deed, in the anthology, Tales of Adventure and Discovery, is set in the pioneering era of our state.
The teacher interviewing me has encouraged me to develop the activities and extended history I've been planning for students and teachers. So...I'm trying to work this into my summer plans.
She may use some of these with her students. Then I'll get to see if they work.
