Kate Harris

I’m a writer with a knack for getting lost and a grudge against borders. Condé Nast Traveller named me one of the "world’s most adventurous women” for various ill-advised escapades on bikes and skis in countries with names often ending in “stan.” But my main adventure these days is staying put, in an off-grid log cabin in the Canadian subarctic, where I've been learning how to fly a small plane. My first book was Lands of Lost Borders. I’m hard at work on my second.

Upton Beall Sinclair, Jr. was an American author who wrote close to one hundred books in many genres.
