There is something about oysters and the Pacific Northwest that feels inevitable. Cold water, long coastlines, misty mornings, and that particular briny perfume that hits you when the tide drops.

Thank you to everyone who downloaded one of my digital books! A bunch of you wrote me to say that you would much rather have a printed book, so your wish is my command! They are fun paperbacks, 8.5 X 11, about 80 pages each, with all my tips and tricks!!
