Über meine Bibliothek

You will find three types of books in my library. First is historical fiction, which I love to read as well as write. New York stories are favorites and I hope you will find some that interest you (along with my Mevrouw). Others cover American history, and my favorite historical novel of all time is set in the Far East - Shogun by James Clavell.

The second type is history, much of which is related to New York. Other history books indulge my interest in adventure travel, which is fueled by the experiences of Europeans as they explored around the world and the clash of cultures that so frequently resulted.

Then there’s everything else, which ranges from science to books on storytelling to pulp fiction.

Über mich

Twenty-five years ago, I took a job on Wall Street, moved into a Brooklyn brownstone and began exploring New York. The city is a walker’s paradise, and as foot is my favorite form of travel, I rack up hundreds of miles on the streets each year. My passion for New York led me to write The Mevrouw Who Saved Manhattan, a novel of New Amsterdam through the eyes of a sharp-tongued bride who comes among the first families in 1624. Visit www.BillsBrownstone.com for more on the book and to read an excerpt of the first 50 pages. Find the book at Amazon.

My other passion is adventure travel. I am the founder of GORP.com, the early Internet era’s leading community for outdoor recreation and adventure travel. My travel writing has covered everything from Rocky Mountain wilderness to ancient cities of Southeast Asia. You can read many of these tales at BillsBrownstone.com. I always love to swap travel stories if you want to drop me a line.
