I'm the author of "Battle of Ink and Ice: A Sensational Tale of News Barons, North Pole Explorers, and the Making of Modern Media" (Viking, 2023). I've been a freelance journalist for nearly 20 years and have written about travel and culture for The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The Paris Review, and dozens of other international publications. I'm originally from Maine and spend my time between the Catskills and NYC.
