We all watched Making a Murderer. Many of us had a visceral reaction to the head prosecutor Ken Kratz. Myself included. So back in December of 2015, over Christmas, I emailed him. And he emailed me back. Repeatedly. This is the true account of my email exchange with Ken Kratz, aka Making a Prosecutor.

In December 2013, I traveled to Nepal's Mt. Everest on assignment for the BBC. It was the 60th anniversary of the first summit by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. In that time there's been hundreds of thousands of tourists who have turned the mountain from a picturesque natural wonder to the world's most challenging, and highest, ecological crisis. Trash is a problem, and I was traveling to document the human footprint in the Everest region. I spent two weeks in the Himalayas on the way up to Everest Base Camp at more than 18,000 feet, and a month in-country. Along the way I dealt with extreme weather, physical pain, and significantly low oxygen levels. People I trekked with were medically evacuated. Those that made it pushed their bodies and minds to the limits and experienced a special camaraderie and sense of accomplishment. My story was selected as part of the Twitter Fiction Festival, which is co-sponsored by Penguin Random House, the Association of American Publishers, and USA Today. "High Altitude" will told be in tweets during the festival from March 12-16.

A survival guide to being a guy. Lots of guys talk the big talk, but what's really going on with sex? That's what a group of young men sat down to figure out for The Little Black Book for Guys. To get behind the hype, they talked to other teens and collected stories, poems, essays and art about personal experiences. They also interviewed health professionals to get the facts they need to make healthy choices. The result is a revealing collection of personal thoughts and need-to-know information. Topics include: Puberty Wet dreams Masturbation Penis size Dating Safer sex and birth control Sexually transmitted infections/ AIDS. Written, illustrated and designed by youth, and carefully vetted by doctors, The Little Black Book for Guys is more than a book about sex. It's a snapshot of being a guy at the beginning of the 21st century. Contains frank descriptions of sexuality and coarse language.
