OK, I apologize in advance for the shameless self-promotion, but I just had to share my excitement. My book, Gatlinburg: A Guide for Tourists, was recently released by Channel Lake, Inc. For anyone interested in traveling to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg, or the other surrounding areas, this guide is chock full of information on everything from the best places to view wildlife in the park to the best place to grab a meal.

From the back cover: “Not just the “gateway to the Smokies” anymore, Gatlinburg is a favorite vacation destination in one of America’s most beautiful regions. In this comprehensive and independent guide, learn about popular family attractions, unique area arts and crafts, Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, and more. The Great Smoky Mountains is just the beginning.”
