History of Marin and Novato

I am a native Californian with a great interest in the history of Marin County where I have lived since 1985. My first book, Moments in Marin History: Familiar Tales and Untold Stories was published on July 25, 2022 by Fonthill Press. I worked as both a history teacher and Library Director in Marin County Schools for over 25 years earning my Bachelor's degree from U.C. Berkeley and advanced degrees from San Francisco and San Jose State universities. Working as a volunteer for the Marin History Museum, I have written over 140 “History Watch” columns that have appeared in the Marin Independent Journal newspaper
