About the Author

When Cameron Sperance moved to Boston for college, he quickly fell in love with the city: its cobblestone streets, parks perfect for hanging out with a good book, and the feeling of a historic place on the move.
 
Today, his home is in the South End, but he loves venturing beyond his front stoop to explore quaint neighborhood markets and new restaurants, or to go for runs along the Charles River with his husband and their dog.
 
While he’s an avid traveler, his favorite view is of the Boston skyline as his plane, or ferry, returns home.
 
He’s covered every aspect of his adopted hometown for publications like the Boston Herald, Scene magazine, Stuff Boston, and Bisnow.
