“Over My Shoulder 3” has been published!


My third collection of my “Over My Shoulder” columns has just been released!

Over My Shoulder 3; A Collection of “Over My Shoulder” and “Passed Times” Columns published in The Post-Star from 1994-2003; Volume 3: 2001-2003 is now available in print and digital formats on Amazon.com and will be available in these bookstores:

Over My Shoulder 3 columns cover the history of The Post-Star’s coverage area of Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties, as well as east into Vermont and west into the Adirondacks.

Over My Shoulder 3 carries on my commitment to provide timeless history that is factual—and enjoyable. The columns are journeys through time, filled with humor, shocking truths, some acerbic commentary, and heartfelt nostalgia.

As my Editor writes, “Over My Shoulder 3 also reminds readers that history is written for us—and with us. History is who we were, are, and will be.”

Almost a third of the columns in Over My Shoulder 3 are my personal reminiscences. These are recollections of growing up with the King family in Saratoga Springs, Fort Edward, and Ticonderoga, all in The Post-Star’s coverage area. And there are memories of my immediate Cutshall-King family—Sara, Julia and me—in the Glens Falls of the 1970s and ‘80s.

And speaking of family, the book’s Editor, whom I mentioned above, is my daughter, Julia C. Cutshall-King. The cover design is by my brother, artist Michael George King of Black Swan Image Works.  What a thrill it has been working with them.
