Josh Kilmer-Purcell writes memoirs about radical life changes. His seven books document a journey from New York City nightlife to upstate goat farming. I Am Not Myself These Days (2006) tells the story of his years living a double life in Manhattan, while The Bucolic Plague (2010) recounts how he and his partner left the city to run a goat farm in Sharon Springs, New York.

That farm became the Beekman 1802 brand, which spawned three cookbooks — The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Cookbook (2011), the Heirloom Dessert Cookbook (2013), and the Heirloom Vegetable Cookbook (2014) — plus a lifestyle book. His sole novel, Candy Everybody Wants (2008), sits between the two memoirs.
