About the author

I have been painting worlds with words since 1996. I started writing song lyrics and poetry although my musical skill is quite limited. My first short story, Eight Hours, was originally a screenplay submitted for a contest. Afterwords I rewrote it to make it better suited as a book.
I have been told by some to find a genre and stick to it but I enjoy writing all types of books as is obvious by my titles and subjects I have put out thus far. I have three children's books, a pair of poetry books, and a photography book which incorporates my poetry as well.
I truly enjoy travel writing and this has resulted in my first hardcover book detailing all of Cape Cod being released Fall 2013. In My Footsteps: A Cape Cod Travel Guide has been positively reviewed in the Cape Cod Times and Boston Globe.
My travel blog has concentrated on my home region of New England thus far and is entitled In My Footsteps which is featured on such sites as Cape Cod Today, Plymouth Daily News, and All Things New England. I am trying my best to balance my books and travel writing since I truly love doing both. It is said that if you do what you love you never work a day in your life, and that is how I feel when I am writing books or traveling around New England.
Besides writing I love photography and running. I have completed numerous races including my first marathon in October 2012. I started running in 2011 at age 33 and am living proof that anything is possible. Thank you all for taking the time to learn a little about me.

Best Cape Cod travel book. I have been using it for years. Lovingly written

[Jeff Clay · Rating 4 out of 5]

An informative though relatively thin (159 pages and lots of photos) guide to the Cape Cod area featuring both more-or-less standard destinations (Brewster Grist Mill, Provincetown Pilgrim Monument) and decidedly off-the-beaten trail sites (Pine Grove Cemetery & Long Point Lighthouse). I picked it up at Titcomb's Bookstore in Sandwich (highly recommended) as it was really the only non-traditional guide book (think Fodor's and Frommer's) that clicked with me. Generally most of the relatively short destinations' sections have interesting historical tid-bits as well as adequate directions for getting there. Better maps would help but I ended up cross-referencing Setterlund's book with Google Maps.
