About the author

True Survival, rescue and history is the topic of most of my books. that runs through most of my books. My latest book is with St. Martins Press and is titled In Deep Water: A True Story of Sharks, Survival and Courage. Other nonfiction sea survival and rescue books include Overboard! A Storm Too Soon, Rescue of the Bounty, Fatal Forecast and Ten Hours Until Dawn.
Disney made a major motion picture of my book The Finest Hours: The Trues Story of the Coast Guard's Greatest Rescue (Disney kept the same title). The movie stars Chris Pine an Casey Affleck and is a fantastic film.
My co-written history books include So Clost To Home (about surviving a Uboat attack in the Gulf of Mexico), Above & Beyond (the untold story of the Cuban Missile Crisis) King Philip's War (Native Americans vs Colonists) Abandon Ship (wwii) and several more
Another adventure for me is publishing a funny family memoir with my daughter, called The Cringe Chronicles (Mortifying Misadventures with my Dad).
My friends were been asking if I'll write a sequel to There's a Porcupine in my Outhouse (2003 Outdoor Book of the Year) and I suprised them with another book of misadventures titled The Power of Positive Fishing: A Story of Friendship and the Quest for Happiness. Also in the same category is The Waters Between Us: A Boy, A Father and Outdoor Misadventures.

Much of this “Explorer’s Guide” is somewhat dated, so some of the businesses mentioned may no longer be operating, and others may be operating, but under a different name. Still, there is much in this that is still worth reading, and if you drive an hour or so only to be disappointed that your destination is … gone, or changed, or isn’t what you’d hoped it would be, then there is something to be said for the beauty of the drive, itself.

A brisk and engaging read for anyone who wants to better understand the foliage of the New England wilderness. Aspens, beeches, junipers and swamp maples are lovingly described, and the author's descriptions display an impressive level of knowledge of things he observed in the woods during his yearly rambles.
