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.

Black Gold

The draft manuscript is currently in the hands of peer reviewers for the University Press of Kentucky. The process has been slowed a bit by the holidays, but I hope to have further information in January.
California Chrome
I also have a partial 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 but rather stalled at the moment.
