Steph,  I just read High Infatuation. It came to me at the perfect time. I have climbed since I was 13 and always dreamed of dropping everything else to pursue that passion, but it never seemed possible. When I moved to Flagstaff, AZ from Arkansas for college I decided that it was time time to [...]

Hey Steph, Was wondering if you might be able to assist me? I’m looking to write a proposal for an expedition grant and haven’t had much luck in finding templates or examples.

I first saw “High Infatuation” in a used book store, while looking for a Costa Rica travel book. I honestly thought it was going to be about doing drugs from the title. I might have even laughed a little about the idea of a book about doing drugs. Nonetheless, I picked it up and I’m [...]

A year ago I received a handwritten letter and photo from a UK soldier stationed in Afghanistan. In the photo, he was sitting on some rocks reading a copy of High Infatuation, which was pretty amazing to me! I was very worried about him…not everyone comes home safe from service. I sent him some posters [...]

As you may know, I’m working on my second book right now. It’s called Learning to Fly, and it will be published by Touchstone/Simon and Schuster. My first book, High Infatuation, was kind of an experiment, in fact, I would call it a confidence builder. Obviously I had no idea how a person writes a [...]
