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

Black Gold

May 31, 2022


I have signed a contract with the University Press of Kentucky for my Black Gold manuscript (tentatively titled Dream Derby: The Legend of Black Gold)! Projected release: Fall 2023. Thanks to acquisitions editor Patrick O'Dowd and to Jennifer Kelly for her support and encouragement!



California Chrome

At this time, the California Chrome manuscript is on the back burner due to the recent release of a book on Chrome by co-owner Perry Martin.
