My latest book, The Skies Above, is now available!

Did you know a puffy cloud can weigh millions of pounds? Or that every rainbow you see is unique to you?

Our atmosphere is full of spectacular sights that are always within your reach. Glistening layers of fog, gorgeous sunsets, and brilliant meteors flashing through the sky can light up even the calmest day.

The Skies Above, published by Mountaineers Books, is a celebration of what we overlook when we look up. I was thrilled to work with the editors and illustrators at Indelible Editions to share with you the quotidian beauty of our sky.

Order your copy now and learn about the wonders we take for granted every day.

I teamed up with the editors of Outdoor Life magazine to write The Extreme Weather Survival Manual, your guide to surviving and thriving in almost any weather condition. Whether you're an avid outdoorsperson or you enjoy watching the radar from the comfort of your home, you're sure to find helpful tips, advice, and new bits of knowledge in this fascinating book.

You can buy my book today through Amazon.
