freelance writer turned author -- such an inevitable progression, right? Like a banana going spotted. Or like bread rising. Or like a freelance writer becoming an author. :)

summer 2012 release: 'Anything Worth Doing: A true story of friendship, adventure and tragedy on the West's last great river,' a nonfiction adventure narrative I'm really pleased with.

A 2007 release I can't stand to type the title of, although the Barnes & Noble rep apparently liked it enough to trump my threats to commit hara kiri. These days, I don't even like the book behind it.
