Meyer has also been invited to speak at the Bay to Ocean Writers Conference on Feb. 23, 2008 in Wye Mills, on Maryland' Eastern Shore. Meyer is the author of "Chesapeake Country" (Abbeville Press, 1990) and "Maryland Lost and Found...Again" (Tidewater Publishers, 2003) and covered the Bay area for the Post for many years.

His recent New York Times articles have focused on real estate and development issues in Loudoun County, Va. and Silver Spring, Md. and on wealthy Mexicans establishing dual lives in Houston, Texas.
