Recommended books

Here are some books I especially enjoyed writing or editing.


Final Destinations Final Destinations: A Travel Guide to Remarkable Cemeteries in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana

By Brian Wooley, Larry Bleiberg, Leon Unruh, Jean Simmons, Tom Simmons, Kathryn Straach and Bob Bersano (University of North Texas, 2000)

Focusing on cemeteries in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, I wrote a third of the chapters and took half the photos in this fun guide.




Mountain Bike AnchorageMountain Bike Anchorage

By Rose Austin (Near Point Press, 2005)

I edited this well-written and thorough guide to biking the paved and dirt trails in the Municipality of Anchorage.








Yours for Western Alaska by Tom Busch (forthcoming). This history of KNOM radio in Nome describes the pain and pleasures of setting up and operating a station near the Arctic Circle.

Also, check out the lush FlyOverPeople -- the creation of Cheryl Unruh, a Kansas writer who has a weekly column in the Emporia Gazette and occasionally reads her work on Kansas Public Radio.
