Interviews and excerpts

The Las Vegas Review-Journal asked me good questions in this interview, published in September 2026 just before the book was released.

I was delighted to have the excuse to wander around the Great Basin and take new photographs. This stunning campsite at the top of the Kern Mountains in easternmost Nevada made me giddy.
