I've updated the Kindle version of "Ghost Trails" to include a long epilogue, the account of my 2014 race to McGrath on foot. It's an interesting juxtaposition between the two years — same route, different modes of travel, and sometimes wildly different perspectives (I wrote the original in 2008.) If you've purchased this eBook in the past, you can request the latest update from your device management page.

Jill wasn't an athlete, at least not in the more insecure corners of her identity. What she was, was cold. And frightened. And alone in the frozen wilderness of Alaska, more than a hundred miles from the nearest outpost of civilization. As she struggled to maintain forward motion, she couldn't he...

Review from a guy who's out riding the Tour Divide right now.

At the time of writing this blog post, it's six and a half months until I shove off for the TourDivide. I'm pretty nervous and sometimes wonder if I'm even going to make it 30 miles (let alone 2,700) before I just fall over and give up.Read more

Work on the next project is coming along. I've largely put aside my own projects to focus on a book about Tim Hewitt's Iditarod adventures. It's going to be good! Hoping for a January 2014 release of that one. I may still have "Becoming Frozen" ready before then, but it would be a fall release at the earliest.
