FUTURE PROJECTS
Books and things I'm working on these days
My next big hardcover history book will track the amazing history of NEW CASTLE, New Hampshire's smallest, oldest, and only island town. Few know that the heart of Portsmouth was at NEW CASTLE in the 1600s. Today it is known for ruined forts, a lighthouse, scenic views, and an historic hotel. I'll be on this one full time until its planned publication in the fall of 2023.
I'm also digging into what happened nearby when David Thompson and his wife Amias and son John settled at what is now Odiorn'e Point in Rye. We've been celebrating their arrival in 1623 ever since. But what does anyone really know about New Hampshire's founding family? Who were they? Why did they come and why did they disappear a few years later? There's an intriguing book here that will shed light on the upcoming Portsmouth400 celebration planned for 2023.
PORTSMOUTH TIME MACHINE
Illustrator Robert Squire and I are hard at work on the first-ever comic book-style history of Portsmouth, NH. This color 32-page glossy magazine-size little masterpiece is also scheduled for release some time in the April of 2023--the 400th anniversary of the founding of New Hampshire.
And yes, I'm still working on that promised book about alleged UFO abductees Betty and Barney Hill. Just down the hall from my office is a bulletin board with the outline of at least 25 future book projects, especially that one about the conflicting life, legends, and downright lies about naval hero John Paul Jones. So many books, so few time machines.
