Hello Blog Followers,

Announcing the publication of my newest book!

Once Upon A Town represents my further research into San Diego County’s “lost towns,” towns and villages that once thrived, but then disappeared. Building on my previous book, The Lost Town of Bernardo, Once Upon  A Town adds the stories of two neighboring Poway Valley towns, Merton and Stowe. Through photos and anecdotes gleaned from my research in county museums and archives, I offer a picture of people and places from another time in county history.

I’m offering it right now for $12.00, tax included, plus $3.00 for shipping. Just send a check or money order for $15.00, made out to StorySeekers. Mail it to StorySeekers, PO Box 27343, San Diego, CA 92198-1343. I’ll get the book right out to you. I’ll also be setting up this site for PayPal orders soon.

If any of you happen to be attending the annual meeting of the Heritage Ranch this Sunday at the Olivenhain Town Hall, I’ll be speaking on Bernardo and offering Once Upon A Town for sale afterward, along with a previous book, Valleys of Dreams.
