I APOLOGIZE TO MY READERS, AS I ADDED ONLY TWO BLOGS RECENTLY.
EXCUSES: I SPENT MORE TIME AT BLAKELY ISLAND (SEE ABOVE) IN THE LOVELY SUMMER AND FALL OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. Actually, this is also one of my published books that helps the reader to live vicariously on a San Juan Island with me and my family for more than thirty years. Local summer residents (as we were, too) appealed to me to write a book about the island before all of the old-timers passed on. To my surprise, many strangers also have ordered this book from booksellers and national wholesalers. Enough about why I loafed too much this summer.
In the following months I will continue sharing with you the writing of my 17 books, 10 of which are still in print, two of them recently published: THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS: INTO THE 21ST CENTURY (Caxton 2011) and THE COLUMBIA RIVER (Caxton 2013); Ongoing books that continue to be popular are: NORTH CASCADES HIGHWAY and GHOST CAMPS & BOOM TOWNS (from NW only), the latest two of the K-5 Marco the Manx series called ALASKA CAT and SAMURAI CAT (Montevista Press), RANALD MacDONALD (WSt.U Press) STEVENS PASS (lots of RR history), and several other titles out of print. One of the older books was made into a two-hour TV documentary for TV Asahi Japan) and is in the Smithsonian Collection, and so on.
AS FOR ME, I continue to be asked to travel occasionally to research magazine articles of diverse types, another possible video or movie, and another book, maybe. I ASK OF YOU THAT YOU WILL RETURN TO MY WRITINGS AND OVERLOOK MY SCARCE OUTPUT. THANK YOU TO MY READERS OVER YEARS PAST. www.joannroe.com for more. It is informational and not a sales site.
