Hot off the presses is my latest book, “Secret Boston: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure.”

What Boston landmark was first envisioned in a newspaper column? Which of the city’s nicknames was originally meant as an insult? What is the story with that costumed bear playing music in the T? You’ll find the answers to these questions and many more in Secret Boston—a guide to the unknown, strange, forgotten, and wonderful places and people that make up the Hub of the Universe. In a city with this much history, the mists of time are bound to hide more than a few hidden gems. Hear the stories behind the tourist stops, like the person who rowed out to the USS
Constitution and sawed off its figurehead or the iconic Boston
sight created by a nun. Even those who think they know everything about Boston will be surprised by some of its forgotten history. Click here to order
