The Insider’s Guide
My first book, The Insider's Guide to Omaha and Lincoln, is the first nationally published travel guide written about the two cities. It includes my take on more than 150 restaurants, including many you've probably never heard of before.

It also has practical sections: one on where to stay when you're visiting and a second perfect for students or people relocating to Nebraska.
