Tom Ryan’s non-fiction books chronicle his life in the White Mountains of New Hampshire with his beloved dogs. Following Atticus (2011) describes how Ryan, a middle-aged journalist, adopted a miniature schnauzer named Atticus and set out to summit all 48 of New Hampshire’s four-thousand-foot peaks. The book became a bestseller and connected with readers who love stories about the bond between people and their dogs.

Will’s Red Coat (2017) continues the story with a new dog, an elderly rescue named Will. Where Following Atticus was about adventure and the outdoors, this sequel is more reflective, dealing with aging, loss, and the quiet rewards of caring for an animal in its final years.
