It is with great pleasure that I announce the publication of my latest book Desperate Dreams. It is a fine, large format, coffee table. photo book, featuring over 350 images of remote ghost towns, camps and mines in Nevada and the east slope of the California Sierra. This book is the end result of nine yeas of exploration and research and is the selective distillation of my visits to over 200 sites to date. There are photographs and descriptive text for over 50 locations dating from the 1850s. No other such detailed modern, colour, photo book exists of these interesting and inspirational, historical sites. Join in this exceptional exploration from the comfort of your own home.
