Who knew after 20 years of being a writer that starting a tour company would result in a book deal?
The History Press contacted me after their Northern California rep saw our advertisement for ghost tours. Their Haunted America series required a book pertaining to the California Gold Rush.
Situated in Placerville, the former "Hangtown" of the raucous gold discovery era it became a natural fit.
I am not a paranormal expert. Our tours, and now the book heavily feature the historical aspect of the spirited past in the golden triad that also featured Coloma and Georgetown.
Amazon and Barnes and Noble sell my book as well as local merchants.
Here's the five-star review from the San Francisco Book Review.
Grab a copy and enjoy.
Come with me as I take you along on my journeys. I agree with Mark Twain's quote. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." Contact me at words4sail@gmail.com for travel writing to spur your readers to start packing their bags.
