Write that memory down NOW!

My next book out will be Without Harry Dean which is my version of a family story. My father's older brother was a crackerjack air pilot back in the early days of flying. Sadly, he was badly injured in an air crash in 1931 and died hours later in Freeman Hospital, Joplin, Missouri.

My father and his siblings are long dead so I had no one to question about my air pilot uncle. So my story is mostly just a made up tale.

That's why I feel it is important for anyone reading this to write down those squibs of memory about an old aunt or uncle, a grandparent and any family member that comes to mind. Put into words everything you know about your family , give it as an insert in a birthday or holiday greeting card. You may never know, but perhaps there's a future family member who will wri
because your memories gave them inspiration.

New Jersey's Pinelands

The Pinelands, or Pine Barrens, of New Jersey are unique. Covering acres of land, long ago they were home to bog iron industries, then their vast bogs and lakes offered a perfect setting for cranberry harvesters. Driving through the Pinelands over a period of weeks, I fell in love with its landscape of pine trees, wild rhodendrons, and hollies, and then with two centuries old brick houses on either end of a small Pinelands town. Hence, my book, Comings and Goings, a Story of the New Jersey Pinelands, began.
Come to New Jersey, drive through the vast Pinelands, and you'll find yourself enchanted with this wild, haunting landscape.
