Mark Frost is a writer/producer of the popular television series Hill Street Blues and Twin Peaks. The back cover of PermaFrost "From 49-year tavern owner Tony Guglielmi to northern New York's foremost entrepreneur Charley Wood. From a hunting camp deep in the Adirondacks to the plush new Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing. From ancient lives expressed on gravestones in a Chestertown cemetery to the contemporary horror of children being stolen by strangers. Mark Frost details the people, the values, and the character of a part of New York State that is little written about, seldom revealed. Sometimes serious, sometimes comic, PermaFrost represents 10 years of delving deeper into northern New York."
