100 Things to Do In Sioux City & Siouxland

I'm thrilled to announce that my first book, 100 Things to Do In Sioux City & Siouxland Before You Die is currently in production with Reedy Press, with a tentative release scheduled for mid-September 2020! 

The series turns to local writers in dozens of cities around the nation to find out what locals view as the must-see places to eat, shop, and play in their area, and I'm so excited to have written the Siouxland edition. It will be most useful as a guidebook to visitors and new residents to our area, but I hope even long-time Siouxland residents will learn something new, and find a corner of Siouxland to explore where they've never been before.

I'll have lots more to share with you about the book as the official release date gets closer, including a book launch party, book signing and discussion events, pre-orders, giveaways, and all sorts of other fun, so check back often!

Wow, a lot has changed since I first posted this! When I first started this post, the nearest outbreak of COVID-19 was one family in Omaha! Now, we have seen nearly everything in our tri-state area closed to try to flatten the curve, and the number of cases skyrocketed higher than many people thought possible, yet mercifully lower than many of the projection models. 
I did a major update on this post in June 2020 and a small update in July 2020, and it will now reflect what is re-opening in our area! I will try to keep it up to date, so check back for updates, but I do not run any of these organizations, and I encourage you to seek out their individual websites and social media to confirm closings that af…
