I started when I researched and wrote a social history of the 1893 home I had purchased. That led to others interested in my work, then I co-wrote two preservation applications and finally a series on old houses for the Buffalo News.

In 2005 I released my first book, "Through The Mayors' Eyes", which had been completed in 1990. The book is the only one that chronicles the lives of all of Buffalo's mayors.The libraries use it for reference.
