Music and history inspire most of her travels, and Marie loves going to see the Dropkick Murphys at different venues each year.Marie is usually found with her nose in a book or writing something down. She wrote her first book, Breaking the Chains of Silence , hoping to raise awareness of child sexual abuse in our communities and what we can do about it. Marie loves a great road trip, busker musicians in the subway, the sound of waves crashing on the shoreline, and pepperoni pizza with extra banana peppers on top.

Her checklists impressed me the most. Have you thought of letting your credit card company know that you are going to travel in a certain area and during a certain time, so your credit card isn't suddenly blocked because the charges look fraudulent?"
"Marie curbed her concerns and drove from her Pennsylvania home to explore the beautiful Maritime provinces of Canada -- New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia."
"I have got to go back one day and see/experience the sights made mention in this great memoir including the heavily Scottish inspired island of Cape Breton, the iconic Flowerpot Rocks, the L. M. Montgomery homestead site (may want to stay in the very same Fairways Cottages, too) and the Fortress of Louisbourg (kicking myself for missing this the first go around as author brought this place to life for me)."
"I definitely recommend this book above any other if you are traveling to the east Coast."
"Many of these tips I've read about and heard already from my other preparation, but in every chapter there were always a few tips I hadn't heard of or even thought to consider which makes this book worth it alone."
200 species included More than 600 detailed line drawings More than 400 color photographs Innovative color-tabbed system for species identification Illustrated species identification keys Helpful tips for moss collecting. --DRK, Wildlife Activist "Since this is the first moss field guide for the eastern states covering most common species, it fills a need for those interested in these plants." "I have no doubt that this guide will become a trusted field companion for outdoor educators and amateur naturalists, who may be new to moss identification, as well as to botanists interested in refreshing their moss identification skills. Common Mosses fills a long-standing void in moss field guides for the region, and, as such, this guide will make the identification of these small plants more accessible to a wider botanical audience." I have seen quite a number of field guides to bryophytes that are intended for beginners or people who have a general interest in nature, and this book is one of the very best. This remarkable, delightful book makes a great contribution to the understanding and appreciation of moss diversity, and to the conservation of mosses."

"For the first time, it's possible for beginners to identify mosses without a struggle."
"Mosses are all around us and, for me, it is a pleasure to be able to identify them."
"Especially helpful is that the book provides a large photo of the moss as it will look when you see it in the forest, plus smaller pictures of the leaves as you'll see them if you look in a microscope, plus a drawing showing you what about the leaves are distinctive."
"Basically there is a branch and leaf type guide on the edges of the pages and nicely color coded so that determining a species is very straightforward."
"Very useable and useful field guide."
"great guide and it came with a water proof cover."
"I love the full color photos, diagrams, easy to use index and even the key in the back."

Best Ontario Travel
Professional travel writer Carolyn B. Heller shares the best ways to experience all that Ontario has to offer, from scuba diving shipwrecks in the Great Lakes to dining on contemporary fare at Toronto's hottest restaurants.

After moving to Canada in 2003, Carolyn began scouting out Toronto's neighborhoods, taking in theater festivals at Stratford and Niagara-on-the-Lake, and discovering Ontario’s outdoors from the rocky shores of Bruce Peninsula to the pink cliffs of Killarney and the lakes and trails in Algonquin Provincial Park.

"We mainly used the portion for NW Ontario (north side of Lake Superior) which is covered in a somewhat modest fashion, BUT... we found that the motels, restaurants, sights that were recommended in the book were indeed consistently excellent."
"To the author's credit, Ontario is a huge geographic area, and not everything can be covered in detail, without making the book too long."
"Just completed a trip to northern Ontario and found this book to be very helpful."
"This is particularly good for planning trips in lower Ontario -- because there isn't much on North Eastern ontario at all...It does omit some important things (like the Stratford Ontario section is good at describing downtown, but omits some of the larger and more famous resort-type hotels and motels)..."
"Will be a good source for our trip to Canada."
