Sullivan completed his B.A. in English at Cornell University, studied linguistics at Germany's Heidelberg University, and earned an M.A. in German at the University of Oregon.

Just out: "The Oregon Variations"

My new collection of short stories, "The Oregon Variations" came out this week, with one story set in every county in Oregon, so it's literally all over the map. In the next few weeks I'm giving 20 slide shows in 11 Oregon cities to kick things off. Check www.oregonhiking.com under "Calendar" for dates, locations, and details! Read more of this blog post »

Newcomers to Oregon usually start with "Oregon Trips & Trails," a full-color guide to the state's "greatest hits" -- the best trails, museums, towns, hot springs, and bed & breakfasts. If you're going to focus on just one part of Oregon, then you might choose one of my five "100 Hikes" guides. Enjoy your visit! -- Bill
