“Downtown, Up River: Bangor in the 1970s,” my debut publication with Islandport Press, is available wherever books are sold. Featuring hundreds of archival photos from the late 1960s until the early 1980s, the book details how Bangor, Maine changed in the years of urban renewal, big-box stores and nationwide social upheaval — transforming the landscape of a small Maine city. It was awarded a 2024 Maine Literary Award for Excellence in Publishing.

I write Hard Telling Not Knowing, a weekly column about Maine history and culture, published each Wednesday in the Bangor Daily News. I am also editor of the BDN’s newsletters, including the Morning Update and the Midcoast Update, and I manage its social media presence, including Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky, in addition to other writing and editing assignments.

I am available for freelance work in writing, editing and social media communications. Email me if you’re interested in collaborating.
