The Biology of the Sandworm, was published in “The Science of Dune: An Unauthorized Exploration into the Real Science behind Frank Herbert's Fictional Universe”
“Fun Climbs Colorado: Best Family Climbing Vacations”, published by Sharp End, is now for sale at Neptune Mountaineering, Boulder Bookstore, and on its way to stores around the country.
Walls Without Balls, my account of the first female ascent of El Capitan was included in Steve Roper's anthology, "Ordeal by Piton: Writings from the Golden Age of Yosemite Climbing".
I titled my story in Alpinist #25 "Bev's and My Grand Adventure", but they published the title as "Walls without Balls". first I could never get them to use that title, and now publishers won't use any other title!
