Samples of
my work
Books:
 
Excelsior 1919, 2007, 178 pages. A young Bostonian's diary describing the aftermath of the Great War in France and Scotland, kept by my grandfather, John Rippey Litchfield while serving in the US Navy. The diary was transcribed, annotated, and published by Dorna Caskie during 2006-7.
 
Singing Brook Farm Eating Book, 2009 175 pages. A sentimental collection of family recipes, each of which has a brief "backstory". While the food is interesting (it is after all an eating book, not a cooking book), the book includes access to on-line templates and publishing instructions so that anyone can produce a similar book for personal or commercial purposes; written by Dorna Caskie.
Presentations and courseware:
 
Intellectual property and innovation September 2005, 18 pages. An invited presentation made in Dundee, Scotland for GlobalScots and other colleagues, this is a brief survey of some of the difficulties and opportunities an innovator may face in the current IP ecosystem.
