Illustrated with photographs from my family’s collection

This was my first book of Oysterville stories – many that I grew up hearing over and over again on long, rainy evenings in front of my grandparents’ library fireplace. Matt Winters, Publisher/Editor, Chinook Observer, generously helped publish them in a simple, straightforward format that perfectly matches the feeling I have for the way in which they were told and the dear old-timers who told them.

*Oysterville is out of print.  Look for it at local booksellers, sellers of used books, thrift stores and garage sales. It is definitely a collector’s item!
