Books
Whether published in physical form or as e-books, books are labors of love resulting from long hours of study, writing and rewriting. They are also invaluable references for the student of pedigrees or racing history. The links on this page will take you to information about books I've written, and I hope you'll take a minute to see what I have to offer. I've also provided a list of recommended titles that I've read and used during my own researches. Most are out of print but can be found on sites dealing in used books.

Current projects
I'm working on a manuscript about California Chrome, a champion whose rise from unlikely origins and connections is already part of racing legend. I'm currently up to Chapter 17. Keep checking here for updates!
While the California Chrome project is currently kind of stalled, I am also working on a manuscript about Black Gold, whose legend has been part of Kentucky Derby lore for nearly 100 years.
