Last week, on August 25, the day of the National Park Service Centennial, I posted the announcement for Treasured Lands on the blog in the morning. I then drove to Petaluma, where my publisher, Cameron Books, is located. The bulk of the shipment from the printer arrives by ship and is still somewhere on the […]
The 100th anniversary of the National Park Service has finally arrived, and others have written more eloquently about the significance of the event than I could ever do.
