How To Lead A Sea Kayaking Trip During A Norte
From the Author's Notes:

"How to Lead a Sea Kayaking Trip During a Norte" began as a poem, and by the time I realized that it was a story, the second-person voice was so woven into the narrative that it wouldn't be removed. While I guided in Baja, this story is fiction. Except for when it's not."

Edges
"Edges," is an essay concerning our evolving spiritual and physical relationship with place and was published in the Potomac Review,Issue 44, Fall 2008, and was selected by Robert Atwan as one of the notable essays of 2008 in The Best American Essays 2009 anthology, edited by Mary Oliver.

Sea Kayaking Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay
“The book, in readable, narrative style, consists of the authors’ 30 favorite day paddles. Their nicely chosen list visits virtually all of Maryland’s tidewater counties, with 13 paddles on the western shore and 17 on the Eastern Shore.”

Sea Kayaking Virginia
“Here is a well-planned, practical guide to personal adventuring by paddle craft in waters familiar to many of us. Nolan, an Annapolis sea kayaking guide and instructor, has spent a great deal of time venturing into little known niches of the Chesapeake Bay and its labyrinth of ancillary waterways.”
