Biography
I am a science journalist and author of a book about the history of humanity's relationship with the Moon. I grew up in Denver, graduated from Colorado State University, and am raising my family in Colorado Springs. I write for national magazines and my book is being published in multiple languages. I would love to be able to share it with my own neighbors and to see it in my own public library!
I am author of Our Moon: How Earth's Celestial Companion Transformed the Planet, Guided Evolution, and Made Us Who We Are, publishing Jan. 16, 2024, from Random House, an imprint of Penguin Random House International.
I also write articles for Scientific American magazine, The Atlantic, The New York Times, Atlas Obscura, and many others.
