About the new book on Cama Beach:
“This place is magical,” is a common comment by visitors to Cama Beach. Used for millenia as a Native American camping place, Cama Beach Resort later attracted hundreds of families each summer to fish, swim, hike, play games, and gather around a fire for evening conversation.
Learn the fascinating history of this beautiful waterfront area - from the earliest times when it was frequented by the ancestors of the Coast Salish peoples, to the logging of the old growth forest, to a remarkable Seattle businessman’s creation of one of the largest fishing resorts on Puget Sound. Read the tales of former resort guests recalling their fond memories of this friendly place that was owned and operated by the same family for over half a century.
And learn how a long term committed effort by the former owners’ descendants, local citizens, and dedicated state legislators turned the aging resort into what many people now call “the crown jewel of the state park system.” The author was a key participant in the eighteen year project to create Cama Beach State Park.

India Fortunes is the sequel to the historical
novel India Treasures, which drew widespread praise both
in India and abroad. As with the earlier book, a modern day
search for a Maharaja’s legendary treasure weaves together
seven novellas of major events and historical figures of earlier
eras, bringing India’s rich history and culture alive.
During the treacherous times of the Emergency of the
mid-1970s, the hunt resumes through the huge fortress of Mangarh
for the remainder of the famous treasure, including the Star of
Mangarh diamond, and for a fabled sword said to have belonged to the
legendary King Shivaji.
Vijay Singh, the leader of the searchers, is again in
peril of exposure as a secret Untouchable. The Maharaja of
Mangarh remains unjustly imprisoned by a despotic government,
while his daughter, the lovely princess Kaushalya, confronts the
corrupt and dangerous political boss Dev Batra.
In novellas
set in earlier times, readers will meet such memorable characters
as:
-
The
architect of the Taj Mahal, forced to work against his will by
the great Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan.
-
The famous
King Shivaji, whose life is imperiled by the treachery of the
Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
-
The
founders of the Sikh religion.
-
A famous
queen, the Rani of Jhansi, as she battles the British to save
her throne.
-
Mahatma
Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru.
-
A fighter
for Indian freedom leading his family in a desperate train
journey across hostile territory.
