She has followed her Western States Book Award winning and best-selling short story collection Cowboys Are My Weakness with another fiction collection, Waltzing the Cat, and a collection of essays, A Little More About Me. She is also the editor of a book on women and hunting and has written text for photography books as well as numerous articles and essays for publications such as Elle, Woman Outside, The New York Times, Allure, and Ski. Her fiction has appeared in Mirabella, Mademoiselle, The Mississippi Review, and Best American Short Stories. In addition to the Western States Book Award, she is the recipient of a Willa Award. Her readings and lectures have taken her around the world to over twenty-five countries and her work has been translated into nine languages.
