My first book, The Line Which Separates: Race, Gender and the Making of the Alberta-Montana Borderlands, was published by the University of Nebraska Press in 2005. It is available in Canada through the University of Alberta Press. I co-edited One Step Over the Line: Toward an Inclusive History of Women in the North American West with Elizabeth Jameson. It was published in 2008 by the University of Alberta Press/Athabasca University Press. My textbook, Choices and Chances: A History of Women in the U.S. West, was published by Harlan Davidson in 2011 and is now available through Wiley. My newest work, Both Sides Now: Writing the Edges of the North American West , was published by Texas A&M Press in 2022.
