In 2009 Diane co-authored WILDLFOWERS OF THE LAKE GEORGE, NY REGION (Spring & Summer editions) with Roger Fulton, noted Common Man Books author and outdoorsman. Diane and Roger teamed up to write a wildflower book including GPS reading to help the reader locate spring & summer wildflowers along ten trails in the Lake George Region. All these trails (with the exception of Hadley Mt.) are easy hikes with beautiful and diverse wildflowers along the pathways. This book, part of the Common Man’s Exploration Series, was published by Glens Falls Printing and is available through their web page www.CommonManBooks.com, or by calling toll-free 866-793-0555. Common Man Books are also available at retail outlets and bookstores.
