Launch Party!

Very excited for the big Will Poole’s Island launch party at 5PM this Sunday evening, September 7, at Next Stage in Putney, Vermont!

We’ll have wine and cheese, good conversation, a brief reading, a book signing, and a brief multi-media presentation that will include a showing of Ben Shumlin’s wonderful trailer on the large screen! We should be finished by 6:30 at the latest, giving you plenty of time to get dinner at The Gleanery or one of our other fantastic local restaurants.

If you’re within striking distance, we’d love to see you! Please RSVP by clicking here.

If you can’t make it, but still want to buy a book, the hardcover and paperback editions are available from major on-line retailers including Amazon or (via Indiebound) your own local bookstore. If you’d like to order a signed copy, click here to contact Tim directly.

Will Poole’s Island featured in prizewinning newspaper

Very pleased to note than an article about Will Poole’s Island appeared today in Nantucket’s prizewinning paper, The Inquirer and Mirror. I met with the I & M’s wonderful Kimberly Nolan when I was on the island last week. Kim is an organic farmer in addition to being a reporter. We discussed the research behind the book, Native American perspectives, Nantucket connections, and much more, and then Kim set us up with some delicious fresh eggs and tomatoes. All in all a very positive experience with the press! Click here to read the full article: “Historic Nantucket Reimagined“

Spotted this lovely old ship from the ferry as we were leaving the island. Ah, Nantucket!

Will Poole’s Island book trailer is live!

Watch the trailer!

Immense gratitude to Ben Shumlin, the talented young (16!) filmmaker who produced this impressive short video, and his crew. We had a great time batting ideas around and shooting the footage in various wilderness settings, and it was fun to see how a video like this goes from a concept to a reality.

Some of the filming was done using a quadcopter drone; if you’re curious about that, or about the filming in general, there are photos and videos on my Facebook page. Please “like” the page while you’re there to see occasional posts on the book, some of the historical research that went in to it, and various other projects.
