Coming Soon

My next book, Toklat's Daughter, concerns the disappearances of Mary Rawlins and her daughter, Emily.  The women, both from New Hampshire, vanished during a trip to Denali National Park.  Their story is a mystery, ghost story, and loving ode to the beautiful wilderness that is central Alaska.
